There are 2 ways I see of going about this: We can either have them create an indestructible Casing for the egg out of stuff (Straws, etc.) or have them develop the best parachute for an egg. Or we could combine the two, but then we might not ever break the eggs.
Or we could have them choose either/or. Just give them a bunch of materials and say "hey, make this egg not break".
We should give them props for being most creative with their design, too.
If we have 35 students, I think we should split them into groups of 4 or 5. Ideally, smaller groups will work better because it's one egg drop, it's pretty much hands on, and you can't really crowd that many people around one egg drop. But if the supplies isn't a big issue, then I think groups of 3 works better.
Open issues:
time | what's happening |
---|---|
3:00-3:10 | intro / distribution of stuff |
3:10-3:40 | Work time |
3:40-3:55 | Egg drop!! |
3:55-4:00 | clean up :( |
