© 2016 Sense Publishers. All rights reserved. The new egg drop project is different from previous egg drop projects because it requires a more accurate hypothesis, higher-level mathematics, and science knowledge (i.e. quadrilateral and circle’s dimensions, gravity, density of air, velocity, resistance force), and application on a real world situation. The teacher introduces a story that can give students motivation and interest in the project. By reading the story, students can follow up with what they are going to do, why they should do it, and what they need to consider while implementing the project. The story is that the parachute company wants mathematics and science researchers (students in the classroom) to develop parachute models with scientific hypotheses to apply them on practical situations.
