- Choose the Best Solution
Then we found a variant of the multipult design which only had one launch arm and decided that it was the best for what we need to do as it seemed simple to create and did not require too many materials.

Do Development Work
Developmental work in our scenario is practice with rolling the paper and determining how large to make it.
Build a Prototype
The first prototype built was the only prototype we used.
- Test and Redesign
The testing process went as such- the egg was dropped from increasingly taller heights and as soon as the egg breaks, that would be the height reached by our prototype.

Do Development Work
Developmental work in our lab was to develop a way that tests how much reaction was occurring- we found that controlling the temperature and adding a biuret and albumin solution would stain the products created and a spectrophotometer yields quantitative data.
Build a Prototype
The first prototype of our experimental design had some of the steps placed before the correct time.
