Egg-Streme Parachuting— Flinn STEM Design ChallengeTM
Parachuting has never been this egg-citing! After learning about parachute construction and the physics of how they work, students design and construct a parachute that will protect an egg from cracking open. Avoid
the mess by using of water-filled plastic eggs enclosed in a bag—or up the ante by using real eggs! By measuring weight, drop height and time of free fall, students explore the rela- tionships between canopy surface area, drag and the resulting acceleration of the egg.

Build a Model Catapult— Flinn STEM Design ChallengeTM
Inspire creative engineering in your classroom with this high-flying design challenge! In the introductory activity, students build a basic catapult using simple materials. Then they test their machines to determine how variables, such as the length of the lever arm and mass of the projectile, affect launch distance. Using their data and observations, students brainstorm how to make improvements to the design in order to accurately launch a projectile at a target.

Trebuchet—Flinn STEM Design ChallengeTM
A full-size trebuchet is capable of launching projectiles of 90 kilograms a distance of 300 meters by combining the mechanical advantage of a lever with that of a sling. With this smaller version, students master the variables that must be optimized in order to breach enemy walls with this engaging Flinn STEM Design ChallengeTM! Students make use of an easily adjustable base to test how different heights, arm lengths, counter weights and release angles determine the flight distance of the projectile.
