The Egg Drop Challenge
by Lindsey Mineweaser
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!
