• Team up with a partner
• Lilia Vargas
• Define the challenge, criteria and constraints
• The challenge: construct a barrier to protect the egg from breaking when dropped off the 2nd floor balcony of the 700 building
• no constraints or criteria
• but to get as many points as possible for the achivements one has to:
• make the barrier a certain size
• biggest: material fits into a paper box
• smallest: material fits into an altoid box
• Brainstorm solutions
• first:
• a box with clothing to cover the egg
• second:
• bubble wrap,a small box and the egg inside
• third:
• two caps inside each other,clothing,inside the cups,than top to cover it and the egg
• fourth:a bag with clothing and also bubble wrap around the egg to make it stay together and not break
• Identify materials to bring in for "Build Day" (block day)
•  clothing racks,two plastic cups and tape and also a cover for the cups.

Achievements:

Brainstorming-Create a sketch of one possible solution. Include labels.

-Create a sketch of another possible solution. Include labels.

-Create a sketch of a third possible solution. Include labels.
