Egg Drop Challenge | Autism Friendly

This is a selection of worksheets that go along side an activity called ‘the egg drop challenge’. Our worksheet pack includes sheets that support the ‘dropping of the eggs’ - ways the students can record the information and make predictions. There are also worksheets that prompt the students to think about how eggs are designed and how they appear in nature.

If you’ve not heard of it, the egg drop challenge is a great activity that can get students outside and in nature. You give each student or group an egg to protect from a fall; the fall can be as big or small as you decide. You can then give the students some resources if you wish, perhaps to start them off or as a method of differentiation, or you can use the opportunity to explore the outside and find natural items to protect their egg in a fall.

We have differentiated the worksheets into three levels; the most difficult has three spirals in the top left hand corner and the easiest has just one spiral in the top left hand corner.

This activity was made by the Sensory Trust - we have lots of other free resources on our website.
