STEM Challenge: Egg Drop

Our fabulous 2-F STEM students were at it again this afternoon with our latest challenge, The Egg Drop. Just as its name suggests, our students were in fact dropping real eggs onto the classroom floor, from 150 centimeters (1 1/2 meters) high! However, unlike my initial demonstration where I simply picked up an egg and dropped it on the ground (see the photo below : ) our rock-star engineers were able to design their own contraption to get their egg safely to the ground.

Side note: *I LOVE that we were able to incorporate our newest math lesson material on metric measurement into this challenge!*


This challenge was absolutely amazing and the students did an incredible job - I don't think I've ever seen such sheer excitement and engagement. A HUGE thank you to Mrs. Baker for capturing so many special moments from today's challenge on video! Please be sure to check it out below. Thanks so much for visiting our blog! : )
