Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Challenge accepted! Our students will be able to work through the Experimental Design Process in this Egg Drop STEM Project. It is important that we can provide a safe environment for our students to work in. The low temp hot glue guns and finger protection will prevent students from serious burns. The glue guns and glue sticks will allow our students to collaborate and build a project of thier own design. Students will have a safe hands-on approach to learning that will allow them to design an apparatus, take measurements, test their projects, and record and analyze data from the challenge to become Egg Drop Eggsperts!
