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.

Here's a new twist in the egg drop competition. Using only six inches of tape, four straws, and 2 pieces of newspaper, teams build a structure that keeps an egg from breaking when dropped. What's different about this project is that the...

Students work in groups to create an egg catcher. In this design lesson, students read the story Little Lumpty by Miko Imai. They create an egg catcher from 8 sheets of recycled paper and 50 cm of masking tape that can safely catch...

Young scholars use what they know about momentum and impulse to construct an effective "air bag" to protect an egg dropped from the top of the football stadium or other tall structure. They complete a final written report of their...

Students discover information about animal eggs by reading the book, An Egg is Quiet.  In this animal science lesson, students research different animals to find out what their eggs look like.  Students use a provided chart to...

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.

What a great way to introduce life cycles in your classroom! Kindergartners learn about chickens using visual aids, vocabulary lists, and more. If possible, you can have your class watch the process up close and personal by bringing in...

Students design and create a container that allows a raw egg to drop from the second floor of a building without breaking. They develop and compute an invoice for project expenses using spreadsheet software. Students role-play a proposal...

Fifth graders record at least four hypotheses concerning what happens when they drop an egg from a high spot. They record at least five observations or supporting ideas about the egg drop. Students test gravity by dropping an egg from a...

Students design and test packaging an egg. In this engineering design lesson, students design and test packaging that will keep an egg from cracking when dropped from a certain height.

Students work to create a design that will protect an egg from being dropped from a one story floor. They test their prototype after it is completed. They write clear instructions and link aspects of the design process to the scientific...

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

Students examine and hypothesize about hard cooked and raw eggs before experimenting to see which one cracks more easily when dropped in a bucket. They open both eggs and compare them using a Venn diagram. They design a presentation...

Students explore volume with eggs. They design containers that can prevent eggs from breaking or cracking and test their containers with eggs to ensure that eggs will not crack or break. After ensuring their eggs will not crack or...

Learners apply math skills using formulas to solve a Physics equation. Working individually, students create an equation to calculate the drop rate of an egg from a tower so it will hit a specified target, the teacher. Learners test...

A well-fitting helmet can be the difference between an unfortunate bicycle accident and a tragic bicycle accident. Encourage your class to exercise bike safety with a set of lessons that demonstrate the importance of wearing a...

Students examine how spacecraft land on Mars. Using eggs or lightbulbs, they design a craft that withstand a drop from a table or ladder, competing in groups to see which module demonstrates the most successful landing.

Students design, revise and construct a method for protecting an egg from cracking when it is dropped from a height. They work in small groups to develop their protection method and then collect and analyze data as a class when each...

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.

Learners listen to Nursery Rhymes highlighting GRAVITY, pull ropes during a Rope Pull Activity and even drop eggs from a height during a Gravity Contest. This is a fantastic activity which highly motivates Students!

Because most children with visual impairments don't reach and grab things at a young age the way sighted children do, they need additional supports to build up their fine motor skills. Here, they work on the pincer grasp, using their...

Individuals design and build a set of shock absorbers to protect their astronauts when they land. Using a limited amount of supplies, pupils build a system that will keep two large marshmallows from flying out of a cup when it lands...

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.
