The kids always look forward to the annual egg drop project! If you’re unfamiliar with this popular STEM activity, the challenge is for kids to design a contraption using various materials (usually recyclables) to protect a raw egg from a high fall. Students were instructed to bring in materials from home for their egg contraptions. After collecting materials over a few days, students were able to work independently, in pairs or in small groups to design a contraption to protect their raw egg. They recorded their designs on paper before constructing. They took the eggs to the stage and dropped them. The students discussed why certain contraptions did or did not work. The kids were super excited to take part in the egg drop project!
