Materials Required:

• Raw eggs (one per team)

• Straws (different sizes and lengths)

• Paper cups

• Tape (masking, duct, or other adhesives)

• Scissors

• Additional stationary materials (e.g., cardboard, paper, rubber bands)

• Elevated platform or structure for dropping (at least 20 feet high)

• Protective gear (e.g., hard hats, safety goggles)
‍

Team Formation:

• Divide participants into teams of 4-6 members

• Encourage diversity in team composition for varied perspectives
‍

Pre-Activity Briefing:

• Explain the rules and objectives of the activity clearly

• Demonstrate the materials and their intended usage

• Emphasize the importance of teamwork, creativity, and strategic thinking
‍

Setup:

• Provide each team with an equal set of materials

• Designate a separate workspace for each team

• Ensure a safe and secure elevated platform or structure for dropping
‍

Design and Construction Phase:

• Allocate a specific time frame (e.g., 30-60 minutes) for teams to design and construct their egg protection devices

• Encourage teams to brainstorm ideas, assign roles, and manage resources effectively

• Facilitate collaboration, communication, and problem-solving within teams
‍

Testing Phase:

• Implement safety protocols (e.g., hard hats, safety goggles)

• Teams take turns dropping their egg protection devices from the designated height

• Observe and record the results (successful or unsuccessful)
‍

Scoring and Evaluation:

• Evaluate teams based on the successful protection of their eggs

• Consider additional criteria such as creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving skills

• Introduce a scoring system (e.g., points for successful drops, deductions for material usage)
