Egg Drop Landers
by Hope Hudson
Students design and test a device for an egg drop in this engaging and hands-on lesson. They will document their data, make modifications to designs, and assess what the outcome is of their own drop while reflecting on concepts and ideas.
This lesson plan can be adapted to grades 6-8th (possibly younger as well)!
