The classic "Egg Drop Activity" is described in this fine science lesson plan. Young scientists work together to design a container that will protect the eggs inside of it when dropped from a high place. Lots of good scientific...

Students create cost effective ways to protect an egg. In this cost conscious lesson plan, students complete an egg drop activity while spending the least amount of money possible.

You have to crack a few eggs to make a good engineer! Working in small groups, young scholars design, build, and test devices that protect an egg from breaking when dropped from a ladder.

Pupils construct a pathfinder that could land an egg safely. In this physics lesson plan, students explain the factors affecting the dynamics of falling objects. They evaluate their pathfinder design.

Students design a "container" for his/her egg to determine whether the egg remain intact when dropped from a predetermined height.

Students make coffee filter eggs. In this art activity, students cut coffee filters into egg shapes. Food coloring is added to water and students drop the colors onto the eggs using a eyedropper. Students allow the filters to dry and...

Young scholars analyze density. In this density lesson, students experiment with floating an egg. Young scholars discover that salt added to water changes the density of the water allowing an egg to float.

Young scholars study safety and witness a tragic egg accident to see the effect of not wearing a helmet. They create helmets for their own eggs using paper, styrofoam, or anything else that cushions the egg and drop the protected egg.

Students create "tie-dye" easter eggs in this easy elementary school lesson plan. Materials needed include paper towels, food coloring, eggs, and rubber gloves. This Easter lesson plan can be accomplished in 30 minutes with extra time...

Students use eggs, cooking oil, foam balls and more to create a simulation of the brain and record what happens in each step. In this brain lesson plan, students learn about protecting the brain, the brain's ability to learn, and reflexes.

Students explore the time of the dinosaurs. In this extinction instructional activity, students watch a video clip about different dinosaurs and are asked about what they observed. Students talk about how dinosaurs hatched from eggs...

Students explore dinosaurs and their extinction. In this dinosaur lesson, students view dinosaur websites and videos to gain an understanding of the world long ago. Discussion questions follow. Students create a paper mache dinosaur egg.

Students compare the life cycle of an animal hatched from an egg with one born from its mother's womb. The lesson focuses on dinosaur eggs. They create dinosaur eggs from balloons and papier mache.

Students discover the classic nursery rhyme Humpty Dumpty by experimenting with an egg.  In this problem solving lesson, students break an actual egg similar to the story of Humpty Dumpty.  Students identify the problems with...

Students examine the concepts of forces and motion. They work together to design protective devices for their egg rovers as they are dropped from a specific height. They record their observations and discuss.

Students melt colored ice cubes which are created from a funnel, balloons, water, and food coloring. In this ice lesson plan, students put food coloring into water in a balloon, freeze it, and see how the food coloring ended up making...

Students complete a variety of art projects to celebrate the arrival of spring. They create symmetrical butterfly designs, paper mache eggs, and caterpillars, and complete a crayon resist and marble painting.

Middle schoolers build parachutes for chicken eggs. In this physics lesson plan, students describe the forces acting on a falling object. They predict which of the three parachute models they made has the best chance of keeping the egg...

This lesson is designed to come after young scholars have studied about the four main layers of the earth. They may relate the size of the sections to known objects such as the mantle to the size of a grapefruit and the outer core to the...

Celebrate Kwanzaa with a game of Kalah, also known as Mankala or Owara. Using an egg carton and a set of beans, players take all of the beans out of one of his or her cups and move to the right, dropping one bean into each of the...

Learners create hatching chickens using plastic Easter eggs, yellow cottonballs, small plastic eyes, and orange construction paper in this fun and quick Easter Art lesson for the elementary classroom. A list of recommended craft books...

Fourth graders investigate how to design a Mars Lander. They design, launch and land a Mars Lander. Students use balloons, pipe cleaners, and tape to design a Mars Lander. Students create a Mars Lander that will protect an egg from...

Students study Abe Lincoln and make a log cabin out of pretzel sticks and chocolate frosting.

Fourth graders explore biology by viewing animal videos in class. In this amphibian and reptile lesson, 4th graders identify the key differences between reptiles, amphibians and other animal classifications. Students view video clips in...
