Egg drop

House A Families,

Students will be working on an egg drop this week in science.  They will be working with one or two partners for this project.  I've asked students to supply the eggs (they may need one or two) and the materials to build whatever support structure they are going to build.  If this is a problem, please let me know.

The grading rubric is included to see how students will be evaluated for this project.  Just click the hyperlink.  We plan on dropping the eggs on Thursday of this week.  If you have any questions, please email me or call at 891-5511.
