The Egg Drop Challenge is a classic project for students. In this new take on the idea, students are tasked with designing a spacecraft for NASA that will safely transport its passengers (raw eggs) to Mars. This activity contains the full lesson, materials list, standards, links to supporting videos, an assessment rubric, and a student lab booklet.

This is a fun lab for learning about adaptations. Students will rotate between stations with different types of 'bird food' and use various tools designated as beaks to decide which one works best. Students will collect and interpret data, and graph their results. Great for science and math!

Don't be fooled by the title! This fun hands-on genetics lesson can be done any time of the year. Help your students understand how traits are inherited by determining the potential offspring of plastic egg parents using punnett squares. This lesson includes the NGSS, a teacher lesson plan, a student worksheet, and discussion questions. If you are looking for an easy, engaging way to teach genetics, this lab is for you!
