Put egg in a baloon filled with water or similar substance.
Put baloon with egg in a larger baloon also filled with water.
Be compulsive, slip this 2nd baloon in yet another baloon filled
with more water.  Fasten brick to box so it hits first. Brick and
box should be cushioned so brick does not bounce in to egg after 
1 or more baloons burst. Styrofoam peanuts or crushed up
newspaper would do nicely.  Lots of packing tape to hold
box and brick together.
  As I am not a brick-egg-in-the-box-dropping expert, try it
before classtime.  As all the other suggesters before me, I'd
love to know if the idea works.
