Design Specifications: Using 4 rolls of duct-tape and the Design Cycle, create a useful product that can help people in their environment. ======

Investigate: Completely explain the problem and its relevance to your life. Critically investigate the problem and evaluate information from a variety of appropriate sources. Provide a detailed explanation of how you will test your product against the design specifications. (requirements)

We need to make a useful product out of duct tape that will aid in the lives of people who use it. We have four roles of duct tape that we will use to make the product. We need to figure out anything to make with duct tape and then make the useful product. We will look for possible ideas online and we will also brainstorm a multitude of ideas. We are not supposed to use other materials, only duct tape. All of our ideas were from our brain. We decided against looking online for sources, however, we brainstormed as a group to come up with our possible ideas. A laptop bag, a hat, nunchucks or gloves.

Design: Create a range of possible designs, and evaluate all of them against the design specifications (requirements). Choose the best design and evaluate it fully against the design specifications (requirements).

<span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">We have a variety of ideas. <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">We might make nunchucks, a hat, a bag or we might make goalie gloves for Jun. We have been thinking of all of the ideas and we think we will make the goalie gloves. We had to review the requirements to make sure our design fit the design specifications. After Review, we decided that the gloves would be the the best fit for our situation that we are in.

<span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">Plan: <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">Create a plan that contains a number of detailed, logical steps that describes how you will use your resources and time. <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">Evaluate the plan and justify any changes to your design.

<span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">We will start making the gloves with the ugly (leopard) duct tape and then cover it with the black and tan duct tape. <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">The gloves will be hard to make and take time. Our plan is the way it is because it will be the most efficient way to make a glove. Also we know what colors we are using for each layer so we know how to ration our duct tape. So far we have no changes to our plan. Steps: 1)Make shape of hand with leopard skin around Jun's hand. 2) Cover glove with black tape for reinforcement. 3) Cut slits for flexibility. 4)Repeat for opposite hand <span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">Create: <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">Skillfully use appropriate techniques and equipment. <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">Follow your plan, justify changes in the plan, and create an appropriate product using your resources and time.

<span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">We began making our left hand glove first. First we modeled the duct tape around Jun's hand. We started with the fingers and then worked down to the wrist. After the glove was completely shaped like the hand he made small slits around joints to improve flexibility. After this. We did the final step of adding 2 more layers of Duct Tape for strangth so Jun's hand is protected from soccer balls. We did the same for the right hand. <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">We followed our plan almost completely and made no changes for our plan. We used our resources (four roles of duct tape) to make our awesome gloves.

<span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">Evaluate: <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">Evaluate your product based on the design specifications, results of testing, and feedback from self and others. <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">OUr design specification was to create a useful product out of four roles of duct tape. WE did the investigate and planning and researched many ideas but decided the gloves were our best ideas. We also tested be hitting the gloves and they worked because they did not hurt Jun's hands. Everybody says the look good and they work well for what they were made for... goalie gloves.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">Evaluate your performance at each stage of the design cycle and suggest improvements. <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">Completely explain how sticking to a task impacts your life and environment.

<span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">We worked hard at each step of the design cycle. We examined all of our possible creations and we also worked through our final plan. We investigated ideas. We planned how to create our gloves and we also learned how to make the gloves completely out of duct tape. We troubleshooted while we created and evaluated in the end.

<span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">Attitude: <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">You were consistently motivated and respectful.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">Yes'm

<span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">Unit Question: <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">Why is it important to stick with it?

<span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">Everybody has to stick with ideas and plans in order to be successful. In the case of students, they must stick with doing well with their education. If you stick with doing well in your life you will succeed. Sticking with it, and not giving up is the key to success.
