Egg+Drop+Design+Folder

// a. Identify the Problem: // 1. Identify the Problem: We need to find a way to keep an egg safe from dropping. // 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 they are backed up by many sources. 4. Explain why not all Internet sources are trustworthy? Some people will just want to mess with you. // c. Formulate a Design Specification // 5. List all the requirements you must meet to create the egg drop: 60 straws, an egg, glue stick. 6. Why is it important to test your egg drop before the final “drop”? Then I will know if it works. 7. How does making an egg drop apply to a real world situation? We need to learn how to pad things and help them fall better. // 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? The tee-pee style shell. 10. Why did you choose this design? Because it supports it from all sides. 11. On the back of your brainstorming paper, draw your final draft. Check. 12. Plan how you will get the entire project finished by May 1. (I will help you with this step!) Glue bottom together and tie it around the top and end of the shell that will be carrying the egg. The protecter will adjust to the egg. // a. Use Appropriate Techniques and Equipment: // 13. List three safety tips you need to follow to while creating your egg drop: Don't stand under the dropper. Have a safe zone. Make sure that everybody is safe. 14. Were you nice, respective, responsible, and did you have a good attitude? Explain: Yes I did my work and didn't complain unless I was making a joke. // b. Follow the Plan: // 15. Did you follow your plan? Yes, I followed my plan. 16. Did you create steps in your plan that were easy to follow? Yes i created easy steps to use. 17. Did you follow my requirements? Yes I followed your // c. Create the Product/Solution: // 18. What areas of your plan needed troubleshooting? I needed to solve how to keep it together when it would be dropped. I am positive that it will stay together when it is dropped. // a. Evaluate the Product/Solution: // 19. Was your design successful? Yes I designed it how I wanted to. 20. How could you improve your solution? I could make a box instead. 21. What part of your design would you use again? I would use the base again. // b. Evaluate the Use of the Design Cycle: // 25. Grade yourself, using the IB Rubric, for each stage of the Design Cycle. Click here for the rubric. 26. How can the Design Cycle be used in other subject areas? It could be used for a project in other studies or maybe just an assignment. 27. How can the Design Cycle be used in real world situations? (List three) To build things. To create ideas. To show thoughts in a better format. 28. Were you nice? Yes ma'am. 29. Were you respectful to everyone in the class and all the equipment in the classroom? Yes, I didn't stab anybody with a glue gun. 30. Were you a whiny-baby? Nope 31. On a scale of 1 - 6, give yourself a grade for your attitude: I deserve a 5. Look below. I am going to tie the loose ends together when the egg is placed in there.
