Students will work in teams to design and create contraptions to protect an egg as it falls. Teams will buy materials using points, and compete to save their egg with the least possible amount of materials.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand what gravity is
- Understand what air resistance is
- Understand how both gravity and air resistance affect falling objects
- Work with a group and use the engineering design process to create and test an egg contraption
