Egg+drop

// a. Identify the Problem: // 1. Identify the Problem: Make something around the egg so the egg doesn't break. // b. Develop the Design Brief: // 2. Research, and find designs that would work for your egg drop. A shield around the egg. 3. How do you know that these resources are trustworthy? They don't have bad stuff on it. 4. Explain why not all Internet sources are trustworthy?Because they might tell you a lie. // c. Formulate a Design Specification // 5. List all the requirements you must meet to create the egg drop: 60 straws, glue
 * THE DESIGN CYCLE **** EGG DROP DESIGN FOLDER **
 * STEP 1: INVESTIGATE **

6. Why is it important to test your egg drop before the final “drop”? So that you know that it works before the actual drop. 7. How does making an egg drop apply to a real world situation? Something might break and you can't replace it. // 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? Plan 10. Why did you choose this design? So you know how the design will look like. 11. On the back of your brainstorming paper, draw your final draft. 12. Plan how you will get the entire project finished by October 19. (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: Don't play with the glue gun, do not burn yourself, don't touch the tip. 14. Were you nice, respective, responsible, and did you have a good attitude? Explain: Ya, even though my egg didn't make it, it was pretty ok. // 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? The part that holds the egg. // a. Evaluate the Product/Solution: // 19. Was your design successful? NO 20. How could you improve your solution? I could've made it more stable. 21. What part of your design would you use again? The shield around it. // 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. 5-6 26. How can the Design Cycle be used in other subject areas? In case you are doing a class project. 27. How can the Design Cycle be used in real world situations? (List three) Planning your future, evaluating who you are, and to investigate. 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
