Egg+Drop

// a. Identify the Problem: // 1. Identify the Problem: We need to make an egg pod that can protect the egg with out it breaking. // b. Develop the Design Brief: // 2. Research, and find designs that would work for your egg drop. 3. How do you know that these resources are trustworthy? Well, i trust my dad because he is an engineer, I trust my brain because its __//mine//__ and I trust any book, even if it is online. 4. Explain why not all Internet sources are trustworthy? Because anyone can post anything and call it true, __LIARS!!__ // c. Formulate a Design Specification // 5. List all the requirements you must meet to create the egg drop: =**Requirements:** = =**When you are finished:** = 6. Why is it important to test your egg drop before the final “drop”? Because if it doesn't work in the test, we can fix it. 7. How does making an egg drop apply to a real world situation? If you want to be an engineer, you can use the things you learn in this assignment to succeed in your job. // a. Design a Product or Solution: // 8. Create three completely different designs using the Brainstorming Chart. [|IB Brainstorming Chart .pdf] // b. Plan a Product or Solution: // 9. Which design do you think will work best? Our last one 10. Why did you choose this design? because it will protect the egg better than the other designs and will be easy to put the egg in. 11. On the back of your brainstorming paper, draw your final draft. 12. Plan how you will get the entire project finished by May 11. (I will help you with this step!) // a. Use Appropriate Techniques and Equipment: // 13. List three safety tips you need to follow to while creating your egg drop: Don't burn yourself, don't burn anyone else and don't cut yourself 14. Were you nice, respective, responsible, and did you have a good attitude? Explain: Yes, I was very happy the whole week and kept my attitude positive even when our egg exploded // b. Follow the Plan: // 15. Did you follow your plan? No, not really 16. Did you create steps in your plan that were easy to follow? yes, and we stuck to those steps 17. Did you follow my requirements? yes we followed all requirements // c. Create the Product/Solution: // 18. What areas of your plan needed troubleshooting? Pretty much the whole design // a. Evaluate the Product/Solution: // 19. Was your design successful? nope. 20. How could you improve your solution? make it bigger so the egg auctially fit 21. What part of your design would you use again? the cylender that held the egg, as long as it was bigger // b. Evaluate the Use of the Design Cycle: // 25. Grade yourself, using the IB Rubric, for each stage of the Design Cycle. Get the rubric from me. 26. How can the Design Cycle be used in other subject areas? You can use the design cycle to do anything in any class or even outside of school. the design cycle is just an easy plan you can use to help you. 27. How can the Design Cycle be used in real world situations? (List three) You can use the design cycle to write a report, build an invention or even apply for college. 28. Were you nice? Yes I was very nice 29. Were you respectful to everyone in the class and all the equipment in the classroom? Yes 30. Were you a whiny-baby? No, never 31. On a scale of 1 - 6, give yourself a grade for your attitude: I think I deserve a 6
 * THE DESIGN CYCLE **** EGG DROP DESIGN FOLDER **
 * STEP 1: INVESTIGATE **
 * My dad
 * My brain
 * A book online
 * 1) Using the Design Cycle, create an "egg pod" that will save an egg from a 15 foot drop.
 * 2) You will have 60 straws to complete this assignment.
 * 3) You will have a few (5 - 7) glue sticks to complete this project.
 * 4) You will not receive your egg until we are outside the day we drop the eggs.
 * 5) You will not have any glue the day we drop the eggs.
 * 6) Create a new page on your wiki and name it "Egg Drop" - your entire Design Folder should be posted on this page. Copy and paste the Design Folder onto your new page
 * 1) ======Take a picture of your egg drop. ======
 * 2) ======Add your pictures to the end of your Design Folder. ======
 * STEP 2: PLAN **
 * STEP 3: CREATE **
