Get ready for an Egg-ceptional real-life STEAM unit with "Crash Test: An Egg-cellent STEAM Challenge!" Not only will your students practice their engineering design and math skills, but they will also create a commercial for their unique safety designs!
________________________________________________________________________________________________
An amazing resource for teachers who want to encompass math and ELA skills with an engaging hands-on real-life STEAM challenge. Students will learn about the laws of motion and how those laws are applied to the role of a crash test dummy. They will then use that information to create a seat and seat belt for their Egg-cellent driver during a crash test simulation. For the simulation, students will use measurement skills and then after the simulation, they will create a commercial to sell their seat and seat belt design.
