Mrs. Fitzgerald’s Innovation Station designed and created supply drops to get their equipment down steep cliffs on Jupiter’s largest moon in their Journey to Jupiter. The supplies are extremely fragile. An egg was used to represent the fragile supplies. Record was kept of whose supplies were damaged or safe after the supply drop occurred.
