LESSON OUTLINE

5min Students complete the Do Now by answering question in their notebook.

15min Peer Corrections. Teacher outlines scoring of quizzes in detail. Answers questions. Scores are double-checked.

10min Overview of the Egg Extraction Engineering Project (see video above).

5min Teacher showcases materials and offers tips for use and common pitfalls (strategies that lead to poor results).

10min Students brainstorm in groups for possible solutions.

5min Clean up. Wrap up.

AIM: Students will build an egg extractor using common inexpensive materials by first asking questions, imagining solutions and problems, planning their design, constructing their device, and refining their design for improved results.
