Final Egg Drop!

After we dropped our egg drops in the classroom, the next round was in the library.  Our boxes were dropped from the top of the library shelves by Mrs. Howard!  We took them back to the classroom to see if our eggs survived.  Again, almost all survived.  Then the students reconstructed or redesigned to make it safer for the final drop. 

The students couldn't wait for this final drop, the cat walk in the gym.  The class was convinced that no egg would survive this fall.  That wasn't case though!  Almost all eggs survived!  We wrapped up this unit revisiting why we built these egg drops and went to these 3 different locations.  The biggest takeaway from this unit for the students was that teamwork is so important, and if something doesn't work the first time, try it again in a new way!
