For the past month, the 8th grade class has been working on innovative scientific thinking culminating in the Egg Drop Challenge with St. Rose of Lima.
On September 19th, Annunciation 8th grade students took their egg drop vehicles to St. Rose of Lima to compete against 8th grade students from St. Rose working on the same challenge project. Separate brackets were created for designs that incorporated parachutes and those that did not. The vehicles had to safely carry an egg from an 18ft. window and hit a target on the pavement below. First and Second Place Honors went to teams from St. Rose, but many good designs were tested, and young scientists were able to see firsthand the fruits of the Scientific Problem-Solving Process.
