Egg+Drop

// a. Identify the Problem: // 1. Identify the Problem: We have a limited resource and we have to create a contraption that'll save an egg from a 15-foot drop without it breaking. // 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's a well-known company or it's an org website. 4. Explain why not all Internet sources are trustworthy? Some are just made up by people that don't know anything about the thing I'm looking for or it could be an opinion of someone. // 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 **

= Requirements: = 6. Why is it important to test your egg drop before the final “drop”? To make sure it doesn't fall apart, and if it does to fix the problem. 7. How does making an egg drop apply to a real world situation? We always need to test something we designed before we put it to use, and also we always have limited resources to build something. // 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 one that's shaped like a box with all four sides covered completely. 10. Why did you choose this design? It has a more secure structure. 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: Make sure the egg doesn't move in the structure. Make a cushion like structure. It can't be too small. 14. Were you nice, respective, responsible, and did you have a good attitude? Explain: I was nice because I didn't criticize anyone on there egg drop. I was responsible because I didn't play around with the glue stick. I was respective because I helped others on there egg drop too. Yes, I had a good attitude because I enjoyed making it. // 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 outer layer needed to be cushion like. // a. Evaluate the Product/Solution: // 19. Was your design successful? No 20. How could you improve your solution? Put more straws on the outer layer to make it cushionier. 21. What part of your design would you use again? The inside was nice and firm and the egg didn't move. // 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? Engineering, when designing stuff you need to put everything together precisely or else it'll break. 27. How can the Design Cycle be used in real world situations? (List three) Engineering, Baking, Drawing 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
 * 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.
