STIIX The Egg Drop

• Grades: K-5
• Number of Students: 15-45
• Hours of Content: 2

Highlights:

Explore Concepts & Careers around EGG DROPS before building / testing one of your own!

Objective: 

Students will apply concepts of physics, impact force reduction, and structuraldesign to create a protective case capable of keeping an egg or included easteregg intact during a high fall.

Set in the resilient town of STIIX-Ville, students are challenged to engineer a supply crate that can be safely airdropped into flooded areas during an emergency. Through this real-world simulation, students will explore gravity, shock absorption, and creative problem-solving while documenting their design process and evaluating the results of their drop tests.
