General Overview
This comprehensive activity is designed to enhance students' skills in mathematics, science, and
language arts through a series of interconnected tasks. In mathematics, students will evaluate complex
arithmetic expressions, solve linear and quadratic equations, and apply geometric principles to real-
world problems. The science component focuses on understanding the effects of gravity, air resistance,
and impact force, and applying this knowledge in designing and testing egg parachutes. Additionally,
students will develop their language proficiency by mastering subject-verb agreement, working
collaboratively in teams to share ideas, and effectively presenting their findings. This multifaceted
approach aims to foster critical thinking, creativity, and effective communication among students.

Activity 2: Egg Drop Activity (Science)

Learning Outcomes
At the end of the activity, the students will be able to:
a. explain how gravity, air resistance, and impact force affect the egg's fall;
b. use the design process to create, test, and improve their egg parachutes; &
c. work in teams to share ideas and present their design and results effectively.
Instructions:
  This activity challenges students' creativity through the creation of egg parachutes.
 Students will be divided into five groups.
 Each group will receive a set of materials necessary to construct their egg parachutes, with no
standard design imposed.
 The objective for each group is to design and build an egg parachute that successfully prevents
the egg from breaking upon landing.
 Each team will have 30 minutes to complete their parachute design.
 Following the designated time, each group will launch their egg parachute from a specified
height.
Materials
 Egg
 Plastic
 Yarn
 Rubber bands
 Tape
 Scissors
 Newspaper
Concept behind the activity:
The concept behind an egg parachute revolves around principles of physics and engineering designed to
slow down the descent of the egg, thereby reducing the impact force upon landing.
Principles and Concepts
 Gravity and Free Fall: Gravity pulls objects towards the Earth, causing them to accelerate as they
fall. Without any intervention, an egg dropped from a height would fall rapidly, resulting in a high
impact force upon hitting the ground.
 Air Resistance: Air resistance, or drag, is the force exerted by air against the motion of an object
moving through it. By increasing the surface area of the falling object, air resistance is increased,
which slows down the descent.
 Parachute Mechanism: A parachute is designed to increase the surface area of the falling object,
thus significantly increasing air resistance. The parachute catches air and creates drag, slowing
down the fall of the attached object—in this case, an egg.
 Impact Force Reduction: By slowing down the descent, the parachute reduces the velocity of the
egg when it reaches the ground. A slower fall means less kinetic energy and, consequently, a
smaller impact force upon landing. This reduced impact force helps prevent the egg from
breaking.
The egg parachute activity not only demonstrates fundamental physics concepts but also engages
participants in hands-on learning and creative problem-solving.
