List all the requirements you must meet to create the egg drop:
-The egg must be unharmed during the drop. -Must only use 60 straws and 7 glue sticks.
Why is it important to test your egg drop before the final “drop”?
-To see if it is capable to survive.
How does making an egg drop apply to a real world situation?

STEP 2: DESIGN Create three completely different designs using the Brainstorming Chart. IB Brainstorming Chart .pdf
Which design do you think will work best? Why did you choose this design? On the back of your brainstorming paper, draw your final draft. Plan how you will get the entire project finished by May 29th (A Day) or 30th (B Day). (Must include a detailed list of step-by-step instructions for creating your egg drop)
STEP 3: REALIZING THE SOLUTION List three safety tips you need to follow while creating your egg drop:
- Don't burn yourself, Don't burn anyone else, Don't put hot glue on your skin.
Did you follow your plan?
- Yes
Did you create steps in your plan that were easy to follow?
- Yes
Did you follow my requirements?
- Yes
What areas of your plan needed troubleshooting?
STEP 4: EVALUATE Evaluate the Product/Solution: Was your design successful?
- Nope
How could you improve your solution? - Have cushion on the top
What part of your design would you use again?
- The straws sticking out the sides
Evaluate the Use of the Design Cycle: Grade yourself, using the IB Rubric, for each stage of the Design Cycle. How can the Design Cycle be used in other subject areas? How can the Design Cycle be used in real world situations? (List three)
Requirements:
- Using the Design Cycle, create an "egg pod" that will save an egg from a 15 foot drop.
- You will have 60 straws to complete this assignment.
- You will have a few (5 - 7) glue sticks to complete this project.
- You will have 4 class periods (57-60 minutes) to create your product.
- You will not receive your egg until we are outside the day we drop the eggs.
- You will not have any glue the day we drop the eggs.
- Create a new page on your wiki and name it "Egg Drop". Copy and paste the information below onto your new page.

STEP 1: RESEARCH AND ANALYSIS
Identify the Problem:
-We need to drop an egg, and make sure the egg is secure after the drop.
Research, and find designs that would work for your egg drop.
