ProcedureProcedure
• You may only use the materials provided
• You may not use the bag• You may cut, bend, fold,
snap, or trade your materials.
• If working with partner, you still only get 1 set of materials.

OutcomesOutcomes
• Identify where Newton’s first, second, and third laws apply to the situation.• You will write a paragraph on drop day
explaining how you see these laws working in your device.
• 2nd Law: See how mass and acceleration can help identify how much force with which the egg hits the floor

FAQ’sFAQ’s
• All eggs will fall the same distance no matter how long you make it.
• No glue, only the provided masking tape.
• Work w/ a partner or alone.• You don’t get the egg until
the drop day.
• Can’t work on it outside of class unless you are working in this classroom.
