alright..heres my opinion. (dont flame me if im wrong). if you use water, the effect is almost totally same as using concrete due to surface tension(saw in discovery channel). unless of course you can try putting a layer of mayb cotton or soft carboard over the water. then again, like NDI said, droping an egg vertically down causes rotation, so this might reduce the effect of surface tension on the egg.

can some1 give me some info about how is chemistry related to DNA mutation. i would also b thankful if some1 could give some websites with related info...thanks in advance

hey amelia, i've done this in a camp before. Using only newspapers and a box, i succesfully managed to pass it. heres wat i did: the whole box contains purely newspaper and nothing else, but it is devided into 3 layers where the shape and folding structure of the newspaper is different. the first layer which is at the bottom contains a mixture of small little chunks of newspaper rolled into spheres and lightly crumpled big pieces of newspaper. this gives enough air-space the the second layer is shreded newspaper folded into a shape that looks like crinkle cut french fries. works as a cushion. the third layer is just 1 or 2 sheet of plain square newspaper that completely covers the second layer. to increase area of impact i hope u might find my info useful. ps: ithink that the height doesnt matter cause it'll reach terminal velocity at about 4m. correct me if im wrong
