Engage students in a high-interest STEM experience that blends engineering, literacy, and critical thinking. This ready-to-use unit challenges students to design and build a system that protects an egg from impact.

Students will explore concepts such as force, gravity, impact, and design revision as they move through a scaffolded engineering process—planning, testing, analyzing, and improving their designs. Meaningful literacy connections ensure students are not just building, but also thinking, explaining, and justifying their ideas with evidence.
