Where
School Lane Charter School, 2400 Bristol Pike, Bensalem, PA
During the challenge, students design and build a device to protect a raw egg from breaking when dropped from a height.
The Egg Drop Challenge helps students explore key learning goals.
These include forces and motion such as gravity, impact, momentum, and energy transfer. It also gives students experience with the engineering design process as they plan, build, test, and refine their designs based on results.
Through the activity, students strengthen problem-solving and critical-thinking skills by developing creative solutions with limited materials. They will also learn perseverance and resilience by recognizing that failure can be part of the learning process and that redesign often leads to better outcomes.
Event Schedule
The event will begin at 8:45 AM in the cafeteria and will then proceed outside, where the eggs that remain intact will be dropped from the roof of the school and then from the top of a fire truck ladder.
