Get ready for an exciting adventure! This project is designed to build confidence, teamwork, and leadership among upper elementary students through the exhilarating Egg Drop Experiment, inspired by Jocko Willink's "Way of the Warrior Kid" books. This hands-on project will captivate students as they dive into the worlds of physics, materials science, and fluid dynamics, all while perfectly aligning with the FPS Bullying Prevention-School Climate Lesson curriculum. Students will navigate disagreements, assess materials, and collaboratively design and execute the experiment, fostering critical thinking and problem-solving skills. The challenge of working together and exploring construction limits will enhance their listening, responding, and goal-achieving abilities.
This initiative is a true team effort, with teachers acting as mentors and students stepping up as leaders, creating a welcoming environment where everyone has a voice in decision-making. The project will be a highlight of the "Way of the Warrior Kid" morning club and the Franklin Park School (FPS) Student College Program, culminating in an epic finale in May 2025. With no more than twenty students participating, each one will gain invaluable practical knowledge and skills through active engagement. The Egg Drop Experiment will empower students to adapt to challenges and achieve positive outcomes, utilizing technical expertise, critical thinking, and effective communication. This project aims to infuse the school climate and science curriculum with a collaborative adventure, preparing students to become global leaders.
