Egg+Drop+Assignment


 * THE DESIGN CYCLE **** EGG DROP DESIGN FOLDER **



// a. Identify the Problem: // 1. Identify the Problem: Land an Egg on the ground safely from 15 feet // 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? Because the egg survived in the picture 4. Explain why not all Internet sources are trustworthy? Because they didn't survive and weren't made of straws // c. Formulate a Design Specification // 5. List all the requirements you must meet to create the egg drop: =Requirements: = 6. Why is it important to test your egg drop before the final “drop”? to make sure it doesn't fall apart 7. How does making an egg drop apply to a real world situation? in case an airplane has to drop the eggs at a store and cant get to an airport to land in order to get the eggs to the store on time. // 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? a combination of all three designs, the legs from the first one, the criss-cross from the second one, and the roundness from the last one 10. Why did you choose this design? because we thought that the parts from all three would work the best 11. On the back of your brainstorming paper, draw your final draft. 12. Plan how you will get the entire project finished by May 12. (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 touch the tip of the hot glue gun. Glue it right the first time. Glue is hot and burns fingers 14. Were you nice, respective, responsible, and did you have a good attitude? Explain: Yes, because we didn't complain. // b. Follow the Plan: // 15. Did you follow your plan? YES, but we made a few innovations. 16. Did you create steps in your plan that were easy to follow? Yes 17. Did you follow my requirements? YES // c. Create the Product/Solution: // 18. What areas of your plan needed troubleshooting? The padding of the egg drop. // a. Evaluate the Product/Solution: // 19. Was your design successful? Yes, because the egg cracked but, didn't leak 20. How could you improve your solution? WE could have added more glue and legs 21. What part of your design would you use again? capsule the egg was in and that it was above the ground. // 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? To help us create a project or answer questions. 27. How can the Design Cycle be used in real world situations? (List three) We can use it math, science and art 28. Were you nice? Yes 29. Were you respectful to everyone in the class and all the equipment in the classroom? YES 30. Were you a whiny-baby? NO 31. On a scale of 1 - 6, give yourself a grade for your attitude: 6
 * STEP 1: INVESTIGATE **
 * 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.
 * STEP 2: PLAN **
 * STEP 3: CREATE **
 * STEP 4: EVALUATE **
