Egg+Drop+Design

// a. Identify the Problem: // 1. Identify the Problem: not to let the egg crack when it drops (make a steardy container thing). // 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? i saw the video & i read the wiki page. 4. Explain why not all Internet sources are trustworthy? they can edit them & some of them are probably a lie. // c. Formulate a Design Specification // 5. List all the requirements you must meet to create the egg drop:
 * THE DESIGN CYCLE **** EGG DROP DESIGN FOLDER **
 * 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.

6. Why is it important to test your egg drop before the final “drop”? so i can know if it works or not & so i can put some final adjustments. 7. How does making an egg drop apply to a real world situation? so if you have to jump off a really high place you can make your self a replica of the idea & survive. // a. Design a Product or Solution: // 8. Create three completely different designs using the Brainstorming Chart. * make a box with a garbage bag as a parachute. * make like a spring and a box & at the bottom the spring will take the impact. * make a box then on the outside just add a bunch of straws pointing every were. then add another layer with a spheare so it will take most of the impact. * make a box then add another protective layer around it with straws.
 * STEP 2: PLAN **

// b. Plan a Product or Solution: // 9. Which design do you think will work best? the one with the spheare 10. Why did you choose this design? because it looks awesome 11. On the back of your brainstorming paper, draw your final draft. 12. Plan how you will get the entire project finished by May 1. (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: Not playing with the hot glue gun 14. Were you nice, respective, responsible, and did you have a good attitude? Explain: I was respectful with everyone and everything also responsible! :D // 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 i did 17. Did you follow my requirements? Yes // c. Create the Product/Solution: // 18. What areas of your plan needed troubleshooting? The desingnig of the egg pod // a. Evaluate the Product/Solution: // 19. Was your design successful? Yes 20. How could you improve your solution? put more glue on it 21. What part of your design would you use again? The square shape // 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. I give my self a 5 26. How can the Design Cycle be used in other subject areas? like in setting up a cabinet 27. How can the Design Cycle be used in real world situations? (List three) Mechanics building a school and learning 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: 5
