EDP Unit Plan Rubric – Egg Drop

This unit asks students “How can we use the engineering process to protect Native bird species from extinction?”

– Students will be able to define a design problem; generate and evaluate multiple egg catcher designs that meet constraints and criteria; build an egg catcher in a timely manner; test their designs and consider improvements based on the trial results (3-5 ETS1-1)

– Students will be able to explain which direction an object close to Earth’s surface will fall & describe how gravity causes objects on Earth to fall directly downward (5-PS2-1)

– Students will be able to help our community and environment by obtaining information about an existing problem in society, then considering solutions by applying the engineering design process (5-ESS3-1)
