* If you have a larger group, break them up into groups of 3-5 people.
 
===Materials===
* 1 fresh egg (or candy cream egg) for each group
* Straws (Number depends on desired difficulty)
* Masking tape (Amount depends on desired difficulty)
* Any other items for creating a package to protect the egg, e.g. popsicle sticks, paper plates, cotton balls, shredded paper, etc.
 
===Set Up===
===Directions===Distribute the materials evenly amongst the groups. Put a marker on a wall to show where you will drop the eggs from.
Group Size===Directions===Using the raw materials provided, the team goal is to build a structure that will support a freefalling egg dropped from a predetermined height (e.g. 7 feet) without the egg breaking.
Materials=== Variations ===For each added complexity, you can add specifications such as - the structure must catch the egg in such a manner that the egg stops at least 2 inches from the floor, but nor more than 6 inches from the floor, or encourage trading of materials among the groups, or allow the group:to earn more materials by doing other challenges.
* ~ 10-20 straws * masking tape * fresh egg * any other items you have available that may help with design===Debrief Questions===
