Students use the engineering design process to construct, test and analyze a prototype parachute designed to slow the descent of an egg and minimize the force of impact when landing, allowing the “eggstronaut” to land safely.
The educator guide has student sheets, background information, steps of the engineering design process, tips for capturing digital video and using a video analysis app, a scoring rubric, physics formulas and additional resources.
