Egg+Drop+folder

// a. Identify the Problem: // 1. Identify the Problem: We need to drop an egg from 15 feet 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? They cited sources and have good pictures of their designs 4. Explain why not all Internet sources are trustworthy? Websites can be written by anyone and they can say anything they want. // c. Formulate a Design Specification // 5. List all the requirements you must meet to create the egg drop:
 * STEP 1: INVESTIGATE **
 * 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.

6. Why is it important to test your egg drop before the final “drop”? We need to find any problems and resolve them to see if it actually works. 7. How does making an egg drop apply to a real world situation? It doesn't, but there are a lot of ways that engineering applies to it and thats the real world. // 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?
 * STEP 2: PLAN **

10. Why did you choose this design?

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: 14. Were you nice, respective, responsible, and did you have a good attitude? Explain: // b. Follow the Plan: // 15. Did you follow your plan? 16. Did you create steps in your plan that were easy to follow? 17. Did you follow my requirements? // c. Create the Product/Solution: // 18. What areas of your plan needed troubleshooting? // a. Evaluate the Product/Solution: // 19. Was your design successful? 20. How could you improve your solution? 21. What part of your design would you use again? // 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? 27. How can the Design Cycle be used in real world situations? (List three) 28. Were you nice? 29. Were you respectful to everyone in the class and all the equipment in the classroom? 30. Were you a whiny-baby? 31. On a scale of 1 - 6, give yourself a grade for your attitude:
 * STEP 3: CREATE **
 * STEP 4: EVALUATE **
 * ATTITUDE **
