What educators are saying

This was a great challenge. It kept the students engaged, it forced them to use their critical thinking skills, and they had really great time.
This was a great activity to get students engaged and out of the classroom for drop days. Used this resource as a follow-up to our forces unit. Students really enjoyed getting to build the device and became very competitive and driven to make the best device possible.

Description

Looking for a fun way for students to use their knowledge of force, Newton's laws, and practice their engineering skills? This egg drop STEM engineering design process challenge will get your students designing, testing, investigating, thinking like a disciplinarian, and acting as engineers as they improve their egg structures to mimic the Mars rover landing.

✎Print and digital versions

This engineering design STEM project includes:

✅ Teacher guide for doing the activity

✅ Student handouts for thinking like a disciplinarian

✅ Prototype write up

✅ Final analysis write up

✅ Grading Rubric

This will guide students through researching different types of engineers that would be used in creating a Mars rover and landing it safely on Mars. They will then take their knowledge to design, build, and test a prototype. From there they will improve their design and complete a final test.
