Description
- Overview:
- In this activity, students will learn about and apply the Laws of Physics to successfully launch and land a raw egg. The activity frames the problem around designing and building a bottle rocket that will protect a raw egg being launched into the air at least seven meters. Resources included in this lesson are found at the bottom of this document and include:
-Teacher guide
-Physics note sheets on motion, speed, velocity, acceleration, momentum, force, friction, Newton’s Laws of Motion, potential and kinetic energy and gravity.
-Egg Launch Instructions
-Link to Bottle Rocket Launching Instructions
-Links to videos

Pennsylvania Standards for Science and Technology and Engineering Education
Grade 10Science Domain: Physical Sciences: Chemistry and Physics
Topic: Physics
Standard: Analyze the relationships among the net forces acting on a body, the mass of the body, and the resulting acceleration using Newton's Second Law of Motion. Apply Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation to the forces between two objects. Use Newton's Third Law to explain forces as interactions between bodies. Describe how interactions between objects conserve momentum.
