Product Information

Gather materials and prepare equal supplies for each group. Refer to the Activity Scaling section for ideas on limiting supplies and creating more constraints that mimic real-world conditions. Define a design problem that can be solved through the development of an object, tool, process or system and includes multiple criteria and constraints, including scientific knowledge that may limit possible solutions. EDP Step 5: Create a Prototype. Have students work together to create the design they decided on with the materials they have available. This activity is aimed at secondary school students and could be used as a main lesson activity, to teach learners about the strength of structural forms. It could also be used as one of several activities within a wider scheme of learning focusing on gravity.

Parachute Design: Challenge students to design a parachute system that slows down the egg’s descent. This adds an aerodynamics element to the project. An Egg Drop Challenge Display Banner - Wether you're doing this activity at home or in the classroom, this banner is perfect for setting the mood and helping children to get into the right headspace for the lesson. velocity: A vector quantity whose magnitude is an object's speed and whose direction is in the object's direction of motion. Velocity is different from speed because velocity describes a direction as well. Once the egg protection frame has been built learners will test their structures by dropping the egg first from 0.5m, then 1m. energy: The capacity to do work. Several different types of energy include: mechanical, heat, electrical, magnetic, chemical, nuclear, sound or radiant. For purposes of this activity and its associated lesson, we are focused primarily on mechanical energy since it is the energy of motion.natural disaster: a natural event such as a flood, earthquake, or hurricane that causes great damage or loss of life. This STEM challenge is one of a series of free resources designed to allow learners to use Easter themes to develop their knowledge and skills in Design and Technology and Engineering. This resource focuses on the egg drop challenge. Sheets of paper are used to make a protective structure to prevent an egg being broken when dropped from height. EDP Step 3: Imagine Possible Solutions. Direct students to brainstorm in their teams and then design their devices by making drawings along with short paragraphs that describe what they want to do and why. This is what engineers do. Doing this also encourages students to communicate their ideas to others, which is important when they work in groups, and helps them to analyze their ideas for merit.

Set out enough tables so there’s one for each group (where people are in groups of between three and five people). Introduce the engineering design process by showing the students the image below, or write out the seven steps in a circle on the board. Explain that engineers use the engineering design process to solve problems and that the process is iterative and helps then learn from failure. Style. Ok, so you figured out how to 3D print a safe enclosure for your egg. But can you make the enclosure or the drop look good? You will receive extra points for a creative, original design.The Egg Drop Challenge is an educational activity used for developing important STEM skills. In the activity, children have to come up with a design that will protect an egg when dropped from a height. potential energy: The energy of a particle or system of particles resulting from position, or condition. Gravitational potential energy is based on how high off of the ground an object is while other forms of potential energy include springs, batteries or fuel. If you're planing a host of STEM themed activities to celebrate Engineers Week, you'll be pleased to know that this Egg Box challenge is part of a bundle of resources we've made in collaboration with Engineers Ireland. Here are just a few more we think you'll love:

A good STEM project will have a little of at least 2 of the 4 pillars of STEM and often you will find a solid experiment or challenge naturally uses bits and pieces of most of the pillars. As you can see these 4 areas are very intertwined. They recorded their predictions on which contraptions would work using our free printable egg drop challenge recording sheet. EDP Step 4: Plan by Selecting a Promising Solution. Ask students to revisit the needs, constraints and research from the earlier steps, compare their best ideas, select one solution and make a plan to move forward with it. Do you know what natural disasters are? Have you ever experienced one? (Listen to student responses). Natural disasters are natural events like floods, earthquakes, and hurricanes that cause significant damage and sometimes even loss of life. These natural disasters can make basic human needs like food, water, and shelter inaccessible due to compromised infrastructure.By the end of this exercise students will know that gravity is a pulling force and they will be able to make a structure to protect an egg dropped from a height. If dropping from a height such as a second story window, be sure to maintain proper supervision of students near the window. For greatest safety on higher drops, have only the teacher drop the eggs. When everyone reaches zero, the person leading the activity should drop the egg from at least two metres high. Activity Sheet - Children can use this to help guide their design choices. It includes a handy space where they can draw out their design before attempting to make it. It even has plenty of prompt questions to help them improve their design. Hight - your contraption must protect an egg from a drop of 15ft. However, the higher the drop your construction will survive, the more points you'll receive in this category.
