Physical Science students were challenged to create a device that would allow a raw egg to survive a drop of at least 8 feet. This classic egg drop challenge offered students a range of materials to use, but they had a budget, and each item had a “cost”. Could they create a device that worked? The final part of the challenge allowed students the chance to test their device from over 20 feet in the air – outside, from the scissor lift.
With many thanks to Mr. Dave Butler, students tested their devices. One device delivered! Ava Mardis created a device that both slowed and cushioned the fall, while supporting the egg in a durable framework. Ingenious.
