Collapse ▲Welcome to part two of the family educational challenge! Today I will share with you the egg drop challenge. The best part about the egg drop challenge is that it requires any supply that you have in your home. It’s one of the best maker space challenges ever! You can use recycled materials found at home like paper, trash, paper bowls, cups, cotton, and so many others.
The objective is for you to design and build a container which will hold and protect an uncooked egg when the container is dropped with the egg enclosed within it. I must say this is a crowd favorite from the youth participating in the STEM Bytes camp a few weeks ago. As a family, you can set whatever parameters and rules like size, weight, height. The main point is to get your kids doing something educational and hands-on which is the 4-H way.
Once you complete the container design, at a controlled height, you will drop the container to see if the uncooked egg breaks. If you have a kid with an egg allergy, you can always use a plastic egg filled with beans or something similar.
To learn more about the Egg Drop activity, download the Inspire Kids to Do Activity Guide on the National 4-H website. If you are interested in learning more about 4-H contact the local 4-H office at 704.283.3735 or 704.283.3740. Thank you and have a great day!
