Egg+Drop

// a. Identify the Problem: // 1. Identify the Problem: We have limited supplies and we cannot kill eggy. // 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? 4. Explain why not all Internet sources are trustworthy? Because anybody can post the information when they are bored and there is no way to tell if the person really knows what they're doing. // c. Formulate a Design Specification // 5. List all the requirements you must meet to create the egg drop: you will only have 60 straws, a hot glue gun with 6 glue sticks. 6. Why is it important to test your egg drop before the final “drop”? To make sure it doesn't fall apart. 7. How does making an egg drop apply to a real world situation? It is kind of like designing a helmet and that is very important. // 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 square cage design. 10. Why did you choose this design? It is a simple design that I can create faster. 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: Don't put in any part of your body in the hot glue, do not touch any body part to the hot glue gun, don't run with scissors. 14. Were you nice, respective, responsible, and did you have a good attitude? Explain: Yup:) // b. Follow the Plan: // 15. Did you follow your plan? Yes we followed our plan.

16. Did you create steps in your plan that were easy to follow? Yes we created steps that were easy to follow. 17. Did you follow my requirements? Yes we did. // c. Create the Product/Solution: // 18. What areas of your plan needed troubleshooting?getting the egg in the project. // a. Evaluate the Product/Solution: // 19. Was your design successful? yes our design was successful. 20. How could you improve your solution? making the bottom more stable so it didn't fall off. 21. What part of your design would you use again? the basket thing that we put the egg in. // 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 in writing to create a story. 27. How can the Design Cycle be used in real world situations? (List three) create a product, making a story, creating a circuit 28. Were you nice? yes i was nice. no she was the biggest jerk ever :) hehe love, Jess =D 29.
