- Requires, quick thinking, quick design and fun

3 Crash Analysis F=ma Less mass results in less force
More impact time results in less force i.e. crumple zone Flying Legos keep impact energy from damaging the light bulb.

4 Solid Heavy Weight Bulb is secure and protected
Not a very good crumple zone

5 Pillars Light weight structure Light bulb is not very protected
Can have a good crumple zone The pillars underneath the light bulb are great as a crumple zone. They tend to shatter and take the force of the impact. Pillars are great because the structure is lightweight. If the structure were to land on its side however, the pillars would not provide very much support.

6 Fencing Medium weight Light bulb is fairly secure and protected
Not a very good crumple zone

7 Stairs If attached to the bottom or sides of structure can make a good crumple zone. Can also make wings to create air drag.
