2. Can you think of situations in your daily
life where forces are at play?
Activity 1
Group 1
Observing Shape Changes:
Materials: Clay, playdough, rubber bands, sponges,
paper clips, straws.
Procedure:
Have students observe each object's initial shape.
Apply different forces (pushing, pulling, twisting,
bending, squeezing) to each object.
Record the changes in shape (does it stretch, compress,
bend, twist, or break?).
Discuss: Which materials changed shape easily? Which
were resistant? Did the objects return to their original
shape?
Activity 1
The Egg Drop Challenge:
Materials: Raw eggs, various protective materials
(straws, cotton balls, cardboard, tape, etc.), dropping
height (e.g., a staircase or ladder).
Procedure:
Challenge students to design a container or structure
to protect an egg from breaking when dropped from a
height.

affect the egg? How did the protective materials
absorb or distribute the force?

withstand different forces (e.g., a tower that can
support weight, a bridge that can span a gap).
Test the structures by applying forces (adding weight,
blowing air, gently shaking).
Discuss: Where did the structures fail? How could they
be strengthened? How did the forces (compression,
tension) act on different parts of the structure?

surfaces (carpet, wood, sandpaper), weights.
Procedure:
Roll toy cars down ramps of different heights and
surfaces.

friction, and weight affect the car's motion and the
forces acting on it?
