Egg+Drop+folder



// a. Identify the Problem: // 1. Identify the Problem: We have to make a carrier that has to survive for fifteen 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? 4. Explain why not all Internet sources are trustworthy? // c. Formulate a Design Specification // 5. List all the requirements you must meet to create the egg drop: 6. Why is it important to test your egg drop before the final “drop”? Because we need to know which way it will drop 7. How does making an egg drop apply to a real world situation? When making things, you have to design things that will be durable. For example, if somebody needed to test a drop pod, the would have to use the deign cycle.* a. Design a Product or Solution:
 * 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 **

// 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? The cube design with the egg pod inside //

// 10. Why did you choose this design? The egg doesn't bounce around and the corners take out all the force of the impact. Also //

// 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!) // // Monday: I am absent so Aaron and Brady will start to assemble cube and see how the straws will fit in our design and if we will have enough. // // Tuesday: We will start making it and make the outer part of the cube // // Wednesday: We will glue together all the walls and exterior of the cube but leave one side open. // // Thursday: We will finish and design a door for the egg to go in and test which way it will fall. //

//** STEP 3: CREATE **//

a. Use Appropriate Techniques and Equipment:

// 13. List three safety tips you need to follow to while creating your egg drop: Be careful with the hot glue so you don't get burned, be careful with the scissors and don't act dangerous when using the straws //

// 14. Were you nice, respective, responsible, and did you have a good attitude? Explain: Yes I tried very hard each day and followed all of the rules. I was respectful and I had a good attitude. //

b. Follow the Plan:

// 15. Did you follow your plan? Yes //

// 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? We needed to strengthen the bonds with more hot glue. If we could have had more glue on the egg pod, the egg would have survived two rounds. //

//** STEP 4: EVALUATE **//

a. Evaluate the Product/Solution:

// 19. Was your design successful? YES //

// 20. How could you improve your solution? The only thing we could have done was put more glue and supports around the egg pod //

// 21. What part of your design would you use again? I would use the idea of putting the egg pod in a larger support cage. //

b. Evaluate the Use of the Design Cycle:

// 26. How can the Design Cycle be used in other subject areas? The design cycle can be used in all areas of our life. While creating a project or even writing a paper for english //

// 27. How can the Design Cycle be used in real world situations? (List three) The design cycle can help you 1-Create things 2- Do work for your job/school 3- Planning and doing anything in your life. 4- inventing things. EX- the iPod. //

//** ATTITUDE **//

// 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 //
