LESSON OUTLINE

5min Students complete the Do Now by clearing tables.

5min Teacher outlines how to fill out handouts.

5min Teacher provides strategies for building the egg holder using the grid paper: trace shape along the lines, cut and fold along the lines, and then glue flaps to hold together. No random folding, everything by design.

15min Students develop and finalize design of the egg holder part for the egg collector.

15min Students develop and finalize design for the egg extractor.

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.
