Egg+drop

// a. Identify the Problem: // 1. Identify the Problem: Bradfield's going to murder an egg // 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? It may have been written by people with experience 4. Explain why not all Internet sources are trustworthy? It may not have been written by people with experiece // c. Formulate a Design Specification // 5. List all the requirements you must meet to create the egg drop:

=**Requirements: ** = 6. Why is it important to test your egg drop before the final “drop”? So you can tell which way it will fall, and if it has any flaws 7. How does making an egg drop apply to a real world situation? Farmer Brown just purchased a helicopter and needs a way to deliver eggs to people without damaging the product, but he only has 60 straws and 5-7 glue sticks per delivery. This is when the egg drop would apply // 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 design with the outer layer to absorb the shock 10. Why did you choose this design? I thought it would work well 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: 1) Be careful with the hot glue gun, 2) Don't go near other people with the glue gun 3) be careful when applying pressure to newly applied glue as it still burns    14. Were you nice, respective, responsible, and did you have a good attitude? Explain:  Yes, I wasn't mean, disprectful or irresponsible and I didn't have a bad attitude // b. Follow the Plan: // 15. Did you follow your plan?  For the days I was here, 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?  Should of been more specific // a. Evaluate the Product/Solution: // 19. Was your design successful?  I don't know as I wasn't here  20. How could you improve your solution?  I don't know as I didn't see what was wrong with it  21. What part of your design would you use again?  The inner egg holder // 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. 4  26. How can the Design Cycle be used in other subject areas? It is useful for experiments in any class. 27. How can the Design Cycle be used in real world situations? (List three) 1) When constructing a building. 2) When Farmer Brown needs us to build him new egg savers that can save an egg for up to a 15 foot fall! 3) When doing experiments in any class. 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?  31. On a scale of 1 - 6, give yourself a grade for your attitude: ** THE DESIGN CYCLE **** EGG DROP **
 * 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.
