Today we took the vocabulary quiz over forces and motion.
We also began the egg drop project. I have attached the main requirements I went over with the students and will attach the egg drop packet I handed the students at a later date because google drive is currently not working.
Most of the project will be completed at home but I have scheduled two days in class that we will be working on it.
Friday October 17th and Thursday Oct 23rd will both be work days in class for the project. the students can and should bring in supplies to work on their egg drop projects on those designated days.
The big day that we will be dropping the eggs will be Friday October 24th.
Parents are more than welcome to come in on those days. Ask your son/daughter when their science class is so you can come and see their hard work.

Egg drop Requirements:
•
You MAY NOT coat your egg or glue anything to your egg!
You may NOT use the glue, tape, string, or anything else to strengthen your egg!! Glue, tape, string, etc. is for either holding your structure together or for packing material. You may not adhere anything to your egg. Your egg may be surrounded by supplies, but they may NOT be glued or taped to your egg.
Your structure may be NO LARGER than 12x12x12 inches.

This project is a TEST GRADE. Grades are as follows:
•
Egg survives with no cracks/damage = 100
•
Egg is cracked but intact = 90
•
Egg has lost its innards = 80
•
•
Student doesn’t participate or tries to “cheat the system” (uses boiled egg, rubberbands one cotton ball onto the egg and drops it, etc.) = 0
•
your structure is difficult to open after it’s dropped and it takes me more than 3 minutes to cut it open to inspect your egg = minus 10 points
You may build and test at home as much as you wish.
NO BUILDING or REDESIGN will be allowed on your drop day. I will have to cut open your structure to inspect your egg after it’s dropped. Eggs and MOST structures will be TRASHED at the end of the period.
