• Who: You individually or with a partner• What: To construct a vessel that will

carry an egg, through free fall, a distance of 2.5 meters (from ceiling-level) and land safely on the ground using only a limited supply of materials!

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

• 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.

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.
