Egg+drop

// a. Identify the Problem: // 1. Identify the Problem: We have to have the egg survive the drop, and we only get 60 straws. // b. Develop the Design Brief: // 2. Research, and find designs that would work for your egg drop. http://starsapphire.wordpress.com
 * THE DESIGN CYCLE **** EGG DROP DESIGN FOLDER **
 * STEP 1: INVESTIGATE **

3. How do you know that these resources are trustworthy? The resources are from well known sites that have been used and work. 4. Explain why not all Internet sources are trustworthy? Internet sources are always trustworthy because anybody could put pictures of egg drops on the internet and say that they will work. // c. Formulate a Design Specification // 5. List all the requirements you must meet to create the egg drop: = ** Requirements: ** =

7. How does making an egg drop apply to a real world situation? We use the design cycle everyday in school and work to finish projects. 6. Why is it important to test your egg drop before the final “drop”? So that we can see that it lands the way we want it too and so it wont break on the final day. // 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? I think we could put both of the plans together. 10. Why did you choose this design? Its cooshined and its secure. 11. On the back of your brainstorming paper, draw your final draft. Okie dokie 12. Plan how you will get the entire project finished by oct19. (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: Do not run around burning people with your hot glue gun. When testing the product do not chuck it at people. Do not goof off with the tools because someone could get hurt. 14. Were you nice, respective, responsible, and did you have a good attitude? Explain: Yes, beause i helped the people taking pictures of there egg drop and we got the job done on time. I always gave paige something to do.(: // b. Follow the Plan: // 15. Did you follow your plan? Yes, we followed the plan.  16. Did you create steps in your plan that were easy to follow?  yes, the plans were easy to follow.  17. Did you follow my requirements? Yes, we followed the requirements. // c. Create the Product/Solution: // 18. What areas of your plan needed troubleshooting?  Getting the egg inside the carrier without being able to use the glue gun. Having enough straws when making the final product. // a. Evaluate the Product/Solution: // 19. Was your design successful?  Yes, our egg survived the first fall but the second drop made the egg crack.  20. How could you improve your solution?  Maybe we couldve had the carrier in the center a little more compact so the egg wouldnt flop around. 21. What part of your design would you use again? The box around the center carrier, it absorbed the impact and made the egg survive. // 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? We use the design cycle in every period of the school day. When we get our grades its the evaluation. 27. How can the Design Cycle be used in real world situations? (List three) The design cycle is used when a teacher grades an assignment. The design cycle is used when designing a product. The design cycle is used when somebody accomplishes something. 28. Were you nice? You know it! 29. Were you respectful to everyone in the class and all the equipment in the classroom? yes i didnt break anything or hurt anybody.. 30. Were you a whiny-baby? Nope(: 31. On a scale of 1 - 6, give yourself a grade for your attitude: 5.898278
 * 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.
