Safe Travels: Exploring Energy in Crashes
This lesson is used to introduce our unit on Energy in a 9th grade physics course; however, it can be adapted to various grade levels and contents.
It can be completed over 1–3 days, depending on your pacing and any extension opportunities. For 9th grade, we complete the project in 1.5-2 days. Any extra time is spent discussing successful designs and improvements for the “least crashworthy” designs.

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
