As our culminating task in our Forces unit, our class had to design and build a protective device for a raw egg. The egg would be dropped from the roof our school. 

We looked at how helmets are made and thought about which materials would best be used to cushion and protect the egg.

Students worked in teams to build their designs and had to reflect on their results. Would they change anything? Did their design have the effect they desired? Did the egg stay in tact? 

We are happy to report that 5 out of 6 groups were successful in having their egg stay in tact. Amazing! Congratulations to all groups for their innovative designs, for being thoughtful scientists, and for having fun with science!
