The materials were dark plastic  $5, white plastic $4, coffee filters $3, aluminum foil $2, cotten balls(4) $2, bubble square $1, masking tape(1 arm length) $1 along with free ziploc bag, paper cups and string.Their goal was to build a parachute that could safely land an egg over a span of two meters.
