Egg+Drop

// a. Identify the Problem: // 1. Identify the Problem: We need to design a egg pod that will keep the egg safe. // 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? We know because the people who made the design showed models of it and diagrams of it. 4. Explain why not all Internet sources are trustworthy? Some of the statements might be opinions and some of the sources might change. // c. Formulate a Design Specification // 5. List all the requirements you must meet to create the egg drop: you have 60 straws and 5 to 7 glue sticks to make an "egg pod" to protect an egg from a 15 foot drop. We won't receive our egg until the day we drop it. We also don't get glue on the day of the egg drop.

6. Why is it important to test your egg drop before the final “drop”? It's important because then we know how it works and if we should change it at all. 7. How does making an egg drop apply to a real world situation? It applies because if you are in the army and you are trying to drop a bomb from a helicopter to a truck and you have limited supplies. // a. Design a Product or Solution: // 8. Create three completely different designs using the Brainstorming Chart. // b. Plan a Product or Solution: // 9. Which design do you think will work best? our third one which is a cube made with stacks of straws like Lincoln logs. 10. Why did you choose this design? We think that it can absorb the fall, it's more sturdy, and the egg won't fall out. 11. On the back of your brainstorming paper, draw your final draft. ok 12. Plan how you will get the entire project finished by May 11. (I will help you with this step!) ok // a. Use Appropriate Techniques and Equipment: // 13. List three safety tips you need to follow to while creating your egg drop: don't touch the hot part on the glue stick thing. don't cut yourself with the scissors. don't touch the glue when it's hot. 14. Were you nice, respective, responsible, and did you have a good attitude? Explain: yes. we worked hard and didn't bother my classmates. // b. Follow the Plan: // 15. Did you follow your plan? Yes and no. 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? In the beginning when we tried to make a square, we had to cut our straws to make the plan a success. // a. Evaluate the Product/Solution: // 19. Was your design successful? no 20. How could you improve your solution? have more straws on the top 21. What part of your design would you use again? everything // 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. 26. How can the Design Cycle be used in other subject areas? It can be used science experiments. 27. How can the Design Cycle be used in real world situations? (List three) -building buildings -building cars -building chairs

28. Were you nice? ya 29. Were you respectful to everyone in the class and all the equipment in the classroom? ya 30. Were you a whiny-baby? no 31. On a scale of 1 - 6, give yourself a grade for your attitude: 5 or 6
