  3. Problem: • A cost efficient egg transport vehicle must be designed and created to be versatile enough to safely travel on land, in water, and through the air.

  4. Step 2: Research • Water • The first form of water transportation were boats. • To make them move was by man-power. • Then they were powered by engines. • Buoyant materials that are cheap and also durable will be needed as well for the vehicle to succeed.

  5. Examples…

  6. Step 2: Research… • Land • The first idea for a motor powered car was drawn by Leonardo da Vinci and Isaac Newton. • The first self-propelled road vehicle was made in 1769 by Nicolas Joseph. • In the 1880’s automobiles brought many benefits to humanity. • To be successful in the land challenge the vehicle must protect the passenger (egg) from being injured.

  7. Examples…

  8. Research… • Air • Around 200 B.C. the first forms of flight were kites. • Around the 17th and 19th century Hot balloons were created by the Chinese. • In 1890 the first self-propelled glider was created by Clement Ader.
