Easter Weekend Challenge



Royalty-free easter egg painting photos free download | PxfuelCan't have Easter without eggs, and that, of course, means we need to do the Egg Drop Challenge. 









Problem: Build a contraption that will protect an egg when it is dropped from a height.
You can decide with your grown up whether your egg is hard boiled or not.

Brainstorm: What materials would be helpful? What shape should you try to create? 

Plan: Draw your design and list your materials.  Don't forget to plan how it will be held together!

Build it




Test:  YOU NEED A PARENT OR GROWN-UP TO DO THIS WITH YOU
Don't try to test indoors - way too much mess!!  Have an adult help you drop your egg (in its contraption) from a height greater than six feet (step ladder, top of a slide, deck, whatever).  After it drops, open the contraption to see if it cracked.  If not, congratulations!

Send me pictures of your contraptions or videos of your tests!

Happy Easter!
