Activity: Review the criteria for the egg drop challenge in the presentation.
Review the design cycle - in your group you should research some examples of "egg drop" protectors. Collect together pictures of the 3 that you think will work the best, put these together on a Google Slide and cite the websites you get them from using EasyBib.
Use the "Egg Drop Challenge Prediction" sheet to plan out your design and explain why you think it will protect your egg.
Complete the "Egg Drop Challenge - Order form" to request the materials you will need to make your egg protector. Remember you have a maximum of $100 to spend and there is a prize for the team that uses the least money!
Submit all your sheets at the end of the lesson.
