egg+drop

// a. Identify the Problem: // 1. Identify the Problem: helping an egg survive a fifteen foot drop. // b. Develop the Design Brief: // 2. Research, and find designs that would work for your egg drop. we came up with our own design based on a dodecahedron.

3. How do you know that these resources are trustworthy? its a legitimate geometric shape. 4. Explain why not all Internet sources are trustworthy? anybody could go and just write there opinion. // c. Formulate a Design Specification // 5. List all the requirements you must meet to create the egg drop: using only staws and glue. 6. Why is it important to test your egg drop before the final “drop”? to se if your mechanism will even work. 7. How does making an egg drop apply to a real world situation? engineering something to solve a problem is a vital skill. // 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 triangle design 10. Why did you choose this design? 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: watch out for hot glue, the tip of the glue gun and dont put glue on your fingers. 14. Were you nice, respective, responsible, and did you have a good attitude? Explain: // b. Follow the Plan: // 15. Did you follow your plan? 16. Did you create steps in your plan that were easy to follow? 17. Did you follow my requirements? // c. Create the Product/Solution: // 18. What areas of your plan needed troubleshooting?time managment // a. Evaluate the Product/Solution: // 19. Was your design successful? no 20. How could you improve your solution? use a different suspension technique 21. What part of your design would you use again?to outer pyramid // 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. 6 26. How can the Design Cycle be used in other subject areas? in english to write papers 27. How can the Design Cycle be used in real world situations? (List three) to solve any problem, to design new products and for writing ppers 29. Were you respectful to everyone in the class and all the equipment in the classroom? si 30. Were you a whiny-baby? no 31. On a scale of 1 - 6, give yourself a grade for your attitude: 6
