Bring STEM and real-world problem solving into your classroom with this 10-page, black-and-white “Easter Tech Design Lab – Smart Egg Device” worksheet pack. Designed for Grade 8, this resource challenges students to design, analyze, and optimize a smart egg system using algebra, geometry, and mathematical modeling.

Across a continuous design storyline, students act as engineers developing smart containers, delivery drones, tracking systems, and production models. Each worksheet introduces a new stage of the design process, requiring students to apply mathematical reasoning to volume, functions, systems, and optimization problems.

This resource follows a structured, classroom-ready format ideal for Teachers Pay Teachers. Each worksheet includes a scenario prompt, a clear data section, and 10 rigorous math questions that emphasize multi-step reasoning, modeling, and real-world application.

All worksheets are print-friendly black-and-white and formatted for US Letter (8.5 × 11). Each page includes a scenario box, data set, 10 questions, and one clean line-art illustration.
