Easter Egg Drop Presentation
This presentation walks students through the Easter egg drop design and technology activity, where they will use their knowledge of engineering, materials and construction to keep an egg in one piece.
Learning goals
- We are learning to describe how forces and the properties of materials affect function in a product or system.
- We are learning to investigate how forces and the properties of materials affect the behaviour of a product or system.
- We are learning to explore needs or opportunities for designing and test materials, components, tools, equipment and processes needed to create designed solutions.
- We are learning to investigate the suitability of materials, systems, components, tools and equipment for a range of purposes.

Extensions
The portion of the presentation “stuff to think about” can be omitted for students with some background in design and technologies, or to push students to come up with their own solutions.
