Reply To: Module 1 – The Curious Minds/ESERO Framework

An inquiry-based activity that I would use in my classroom (and one that I remember doing in school myself) would be to show how gravity works by dropping eggs from a height. Eggs would be dropped onto different surfaces (the ground, grass, soft towel, etc). The pupils must guess if the egg will break when it hits all the surfaces or just some of the surfaces. To extend this lesson the pupils can create different methods of protecting the eggs to prevent them from breaking.
