Egg Drop Challenge | STEM Lab | Physics | Momentum and Impulse
This a great lab that gets the students moving and competing. They will love working with their hands to build something creative. Students will use their knowledge of momentum and impulse to create a contraption around their egg. The project can be done in one lab period and with everyday basic supplies. Or it can be extended to multiple days. I like to do it twice because most people will fail the first time but learn and succeed the second time.Lab Includes (Fully Editable):Students Will: - B
