A new Egg-venture
The egg drop activity was extremely fun. But it was extremely difficult to plan everything out without having any of the materials. My group went through the first 3 steps of the planning process but when it came time to decide on a final decision people were still split on several different ideas. We skipped step 4 and went straight into step 5 because of our time limitations we really could not afford to delegate tasks to several people. But once we got the materials and made our egg holding device, we felt that there was no way that the egg could possibly be safe. Even though we felt like that we went for it and somehow our egg came out perfectly fine. Everyone in our group felt that we got super lucky. We could have been more effective if our group had only decided on a final egg holder before we got our hands on the materials. But we could not have hoped for a better outcome and we were lucky enough to receive 5 points extra credit!

I agree that the egg activity was fun. It's interesting that you employed only 4 steps in the planning process and your team succeed. Our group also went through all the planning steps except the third one, and we did not win. Even though your group succeed I think that it's important to go through all the steps in the planning process. We lost our extra points, but at least now we know how to plan effectively
