The Egg Drop Challenge
Within this hands-on lesson, students use the engineering design process to create a device that will protect an egg from a two-story drop. They work within small groups and test their creation and document results with a recording sheet. This is a fun and engaging way for students to experience science in action and use the engineering design process in class!

Engineers often create small-size models of a new product to test its design. This is especially true with airplanes. Model testing tells engineers how a design responds to different air conditions
What are we learning? We are learning about the history of the Mars Rover program and how scientists had to work together to solve problems and make sure the rover landed safely on the Red Planet. We
