Protect the Passenger: Egg Drop Vehicles
by Hannah McKolay
I use this egg drop/crash lesson as an introduction to Energy and Energy Transfer in physics. Students understand basic kinematics, but I generally conduct this lesson before projectile motion, but it is a fun project that can be easily modified to fit various contexts. I extend it over a longer period, but it could easily be a 1-2 day lesson.
