While the designs for the device can range from simple to complex depending on the creativity of an individual, he/she has to make do with limited material. The goal is to keep the raw egg intact, and minimize the impact on the egg encased in the contraption.
The egg dropping device should be such that it creates air resistance which slows the descent, thus minimizing the impact on contact with the ground.Įgg drop competitions are held in schools and colleges where students compete with one another to create unique devices to safely land an egg when dropped from a decided height. ScienceStruck brings to you some easy ideas that you can implement for your egg drop project. It is a very engaging lesson that is also directly tied to conceptual understanding.ĭownloadable Microsoft Word and PowerPoint version can be found here.Egg drop projects challenge students and individuals to devise working contraptions to safely land an egg without causing it to crack. This hands-on egg drop challenge requires the following materials: water, hard-boiled eggs, jars or large cups, pie tins or paper plates, and cardboard toilet paper rolls (or cut-up paper towel rolls). The slideshow includes a YouTube video to be watched after completing the activity, which shows the egg drop challenge being performed with many eggs at once. A professional-looking PowerPoint presentation to display during the lesson and provide a visual anchor for each step of the lesson.An activity sheet with written instructions for the activity and places for students in small groups to write their predictions, record results, and reflect on how the activity relates to concepts such as force, mass, energy, and gravity.A detailed lesson plan with learning objectives, academic language, and lesson steps for teacher and students.This bundle includes a Google Drive folder with the following files: Great for grades 3rd-6th, middle school or high school, and can be modified to fit your lesson goals.
The resource comes with a lesson plan, presentation, materials list, and handouts. Your students will perform an experiment, record their results, and discuss their findings as a class.
The egg drop challenge is a complete physics lesson that explores forces, motion, and stability.
