STEM Egg Drop Challenge
Purpose: Use the concepts of inertia, force, speed, acceleration, and Newton’s Laws, as well as internet research and prototype testing to design a container that will protect a raw egg from breaking.
Challenge: Design and build a container, using a budget, that will protect a raw egg from breaking when dropped from 2 meters off the ground, then 3 meters, then 4 meters, and so on. The winning team is the one that protects the egg from the highest drop using the least amount of money.

Series vs. Parallel Circuits PowerPoint Animation
This is an original PowerPoint animation that demonstrates the different between a series circuit and a parallel circuit. It shows both the standard circuit symbols, as well as pictures, complete with batteries, light bulbs, and wires. The animation shows what happens when a bulb is removed from each circuit, demonstrating that a complete loop (circuit) is necessary in order for current to flow. The slides can be modified if the user wishes to add more bulbs, etc. Thanks! Michael Guarraia

Helicopter Drop (Forces)
Helicopter Drop by Bryce Hixson
Take a single strip of copy paper and make three cuts and five folds to create a ready-to-fly helicopter. You can experiment with surface area and friction, and have a lot of fun adapting the design. Great way to teach the effect of gravity and friction on a falling object, experiment with torque and changing forces, and open the door to imagination and engineering.
