They had to write step by step directions, list the materials and create a drawing. \r\n\r\nStudents worked in pairs throughout this project. To get students excited and collect some data we built three different prototypes in a smaller scale. We had 5 samples of each prototype. After dropping the prototypes, we reviewed the data and discussed which prototype worked well and why. \r\n\r\nStudents used this data to help design their egg project. \r\n\r\nThe egg drop event was scheduled on the second to last day of school. We dropped 30 egg drop designs off the roof!! \r\n\r\nThere was great success for many students!! Out of the 30 designs only 5 eggs cracked!! Pretty impressive. \r\n\r\nYour donation made this happen.
