What is the challenge?
- This STEM activity will have your students working to design and build a parachute that will safely land fragile cargo.
- Not only will they need to make the parachute, they will also create a container in which to store the cargo.
- The cargo, of course, is an egg!
- Can they create the best parachute canopy? Will their egg container protect the egg? Will the devices all land safely?
What is your prep?
- The Teacher's guide will walk you through this activity step-by-step. I have thought of everything and included tips from use in my classroom.
- As a STEM Specialist, I will lead you through making this a successful event for your student.
- In addition to this package, you will need items for making parachutes and egg containers. A full-page list of suggested items is included. Any of these items can be changed as needed.
- Many suggestions are included about the materials!
- And, best of all, ask your students to bring in things they have at home!
