So off we went to the front porch for our first experiment. The boys decided they wanted to test their contraption by dropping their eggs from 3 different heights. You can read more about it by clicking on the picture below. The boys (ages 6 & 8) set out to create their perfect contraption. The challenge was given to create a structure for a raw egg, that protect the egg from cracking at any height of a fall. Engineering The Perfect Contraptions for an Egg Drop This project was just the motivation we needed. I have always wanted to do an egg drop project with the boys, but all of our other projects seem to get in the way. The Creative Challenges are designed to encourage children to think independently through self-directed projects that encourage problem solving and creative thinking. In case you missed Part One of our Egg Drop Project, I will explain a little more about the Creative Challenges from Tinkerlab. Today I will share the science side of the project, but be sure to check out Hands On Play Party where I shared the invitation and the creations the boys made. You might not be surprised to find out that we turned this challenge into a Creative and Scientific Egg Drop Project. If you are a regular here, you know how much we love science around here. We love everything Tinkerlab does, so when Rachelle put out a call for participants to create with eggs, I got excited. Its time for another Saturday Science! This week is a special week here at Lemon Lime Adventures because we are taking part in Tinkerlab’s exciting Creative Challenge Project.
