A physics teacher on a lift drops a package designed to protect three eggs from a fall of ten meters The egg drop contest is an experiment usually performed by college or primary school students. Competitors typically attempt to create a device that can keep a raw chicken egg intact when dropped from a height.
The test is taken during the first half of April each year by approximately 10,000 physics students. [1] Competitors must attempt 40 physics-related multiple choice questions in a 45 minute long time period. First-year physics students take the Division I test, while second-year physics students take the Division II test. [1]
The Force Concept Inventory is a test measuring mastery of concepts commonly taught in a first semester of physics developed by Hestenes, Halloun, Wells, and Swackhamer (1985). It was the first such " concept inventory " and several others have been developed since for a variety of topics.
The egg float test is a simple hack that can help you find out if your eggs are still fresh—it's like a mini science experiment in your kitchen.
Even if an egg passes the float test, look for other signs that an egg has gone bad—just in case. The cracks in the shell may create an opportunity for bacteria to get to the inside of the egg.
A Jensen box. The Odd-Man-Out Reaction Time test (OMO RT) is a test of reaction times that uses Arthur Jensen's testing apparatus, the Jensen box.The box is normally used for measuring choice reaction times in which the participant in the experiment is tested on their ability to recognize which of the eight lights of the Jensen box is illuminated, as quickly as possible.

A Cartesian diver or Cartesian devil is a classic science experiment which demonstrates the principle of buoyancy (Archimedes' principle) and the ideal gas law.The first written description of this device is provided by Raffaello Magiotti, in his book Renitenza certissima dell'acqua alla compressione (Very firm resistance of water to compression) published in 1648.
Standard Cornell box rendered with POV-Ray Cornell box with 3 balls to model how different materials reflect light.. The Cornell box is a test aimed at determining the accuracy of rendering software by comparing the rendered scene with an actual photograph of the same scene, [1] and has become a commonly used 3D test model.
