Getting StartedGetting Started The students worked in
teams of 4 to 5. They brainstormed ideas
for materials that would keep their eggs safe upon landing.
Five materials were selected:
1. Frosting2. Packing
Peanuts3. Cotton Balls4. Paper Towels5. Real Popcorn

Objectives Procedure
Objectives Procedure
At the end of this project the students will have:
Used the Engineering by Design Process to create a space craft that will keep an egg safe after it is launched.
Brainstormed, predicted, and evaluated their construction based on the results of the egg drop.
The groups will design a space craft from two plastic tubs. The variable will be the type of material which they select to wrap around the eggs.
Team 1 decided to shelter their egg in frosting.

We packed our space ship with chocolate frosting. It smelled really good! We hoped that it would keep our egg from breaking.

After we packed the frosting around our egg, we sealed the space ship
with clear packing tape.

Is my egg going to be safe in
my space ship?
Next we approached the launch/landing
site.

Two of the space ships did not keep their egg cargo safe!
The egg in the frosting ship cracked a little bit on one end.
The cotton ball egg completely broke!

CONCLUSIONSCONCLUSIONS
We designed three space ships that met our objective of protecting the egg cargo.
Two of our space ship designs failed to protect the egg cargo.
We plan to redesign the two that failed to see if we can be successful next time!
