Cranial Cushion Lesson Plan
A comprehensive 2-page teacher facilitation guide for the Cranial Cushion lesson. Includes physical science standards, setup instructions for the Egg Helmet Activity, step-by-step discussion prompts, and key physics concepts.
Cranial Cushion Slides
An interactive-ready, visually high-impact slide presentation explaining the mechanics of brain deceleration, the physics of impact forces, kinetic energy dissipation, and instructions for the Egg Helmet modeling challenge.
Egg Helmet Activity
A 2-page engineering lab recording booklet for students. Features a 'Design Sketchpad' with engineering grid lines for blueprinting, a drop test log to record observations from escalating heights, and kinetic energy analysis prompts.
Cranial Cushion Worksheet
A 2-page concept practice and assessment worksheet. Features vocabulary matching on concussion biophysics, step-by-step kinetic energy calculations, and analysis of real-world helmet engineering case studies (such as single-impact limits and MIPS).
