The Final IB Culminating task! - 'Completed!'

... and the results were smashing! What a cracker this was!!














Egg Trap Challenge
‘Nature vs. Structures’
Due: Wednesday, May 19, 2010

This group project is broken down into components of structure strength, size and creativity. The students will construct an ‘egg trap’ structure that is made out of a set list of materials. The trap must be able to be dropped from a distance of 1 M, 2 M, and 3 M height and not have the egg break.

This second culminating task is related to our IB Unit titled ‘Nature vs. Structures’. Our Central Idea is: Pulleys and Gears enable us to create structures that are able to withstand natural forces that act upon them.

NOTE: You may research different types of structures to best help you design your ‘EGG TRAP’.
