HHONGDU 2 Pcs Portable Egg Storage Box Egg Protector Tray Folding Eggs Holder Carrier for Outdoor Camping Picnic

Product Information

Children will then drop each egg, investigating the best material, and finally complete their table of results.

To make this a tougher challenge for the GrabCAD Community, we propose that the container has to be 3D printed. Let's see what type of creative solutions you'll be able to come up with! tape, 2 feet; more tape makes the activity easier and less tape makes it more difficult so scale as you like Altitude Variations: Change the height from which the egg is dropped. Ask students to adjust their designs for different drop heights and explain how they made these adjustments. Add These STEM Questions for Reflection Strong Paper– Experiment with folding paper in different ways to test its strength, and learn about what shapes make the strongest structures.

Once the egg protection frame has been built learners will test their structures by dropping the egg first from 0.5m, then 1m. Activity Sheet - Children can use this to help guide their design choices. It includes a handy space where they can draw out their design before attempting to make it. It even has plenty of prompt questions to help them improve their design. If this seems like too much to accomplish in one day, divide the activity into three sections: design, creation and testing. vector: A quantity that has both magnitude and direction. Example vector quantities include velocity, weight and force. Alternatively, speed and mass are NOT vector quantities and can be represented by their magnitudes.

Find a good spot from which to make the test airdrops. Ideally, drop the devices from three or four different heights such as 3, 6 (if the teacher holds it above their head), 15 feet (a second story window) and higher, if possible. EDP Step 6: Test and Evaluate the Prototype. When the prototyping/building time is up, ask teams to bring their designs to the drop location. Perform the egg drop from the 3-foot height. Be sure the entire apparatus is above the required height. Test for broken eggs and ask students to measure and record the distances from the target.Standard Egg Drop: Start with the classic challenge where students must design a contraption to protect a raw egg from breaking when dropped from a certain height. They can experiment with different materials and shapes for their protective devices. An understanding of the concepts of energy transfer, conservation of energy, potential energy and kinetic energy, as presented in the Move It! associated lesson.

Which ideas worked best to improve the accuracy of the device in landing close to the target? Why did they work? Children will be required to select six different materials to wrap around an egg and predict which one will be the best at protecting the egg. Spaghetti Marshmallow Tower– Build the tallest spaghetti tower that can hold the weight of a jumbo marshmallow.

Give AI a Try!

printability - how easy is it to replicate your design with 3D printing? Efficient use of material, minimal post-processing (removing supports) and assembly time are all counted towards the final score. Remember, all of the enclosure must be 3D printable, and you can not use parts that are not 3D printed in your design. Make sure you have some spare eggs, in case any of the teams break theirs while trying to protect it. Strong Spaghetti– Get out the pasta and test our your spaghetti bridge designs. Which one will hold the most weight? Understanding how structures are used to protect products is an important part of the new GCSE courses in Design and Technology and Engineering. Structures are used to protect many products, ranging from eggs to supplies dropped from aircraft during emergencies. potential energy: The energy of a particle or system of particles resulting from position, or condition. Gravitational potential energy is based on how high off of the ground an object is while other forms of potential energy include springs, batteries or fuel.

EDP Step 3: Imagine Possible Solutions. Direct students to brainstorm in their teams and then design their devices by making drawings along with short paragraphs that describe what they want to do and why. This is what engineers do. Doing this also encourages students to communicate their ideas to others, which is important when they work in groups, and helps them to analyze their ideas for merit. natural disaster: a natural event such as a flood, earthquake, or hurricane that causes great damage or loss of life. Kids were instructed to bring in materials from home for their egg contraptions.This year we changed the rules up a bit and eliminated a few materials the kids usually use in their egg contraptions- no boxes and no battery powered items.

This STEM challenge is one of a series of free resources designed to allow learners to use Easter themes to develop their knowledge and skills in Design and Technology and Engineering. This resource focuses on the egg drop challenge. Sheets of paper are used to make a protective structure to prevent an egg being broken when dropped from height.
