Weekly Tech Challenge (#2)

Good Day Students and Parents,

I have seen some of the works created in last weeks challenge and was excited to see all the hard work that was shown. I hope you enjoyed working through the process.  I still don't want to overload families so this week's challenge will be a similar format to last week. Students need not feel obligated or stressed to have them completed, however they should be fun and not require much in the way of supplies or time.

This week’s challenge is:

The Egg Drop Challenge

Supplies: Raw Eggs, recycle bin items, and any other simple supplies on hand like bubble wrap, tissue paper, or straws.

Challenge:Protect a raw egg from harm! Using a variety of materials on hand, design, build, and test a contraption that will protect an egg from breaking when dropped from a height of 4 feet.

Tips: To reduce mess, incorporate zip lock bags into the design process.

You can download a Stem Journal PDF that can be printed for students to plan their design and reflect on their learning.
