Egg+drop

// a. Identify the Problem: // 1. Identify the Problem: I have to find a way to make my egg survive a 15 foot drop with 60 straws. // 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? Because I trust my friends and I have done this project before 4. Explain why not all Internet sources are trustworthy? Because people can put what ever they want on it // c. Formulate a Design Specification // 5. List all the requirements you must meet to create the egg drop: I have to use only 60 staws and glue. I have to make my egg survive a 15 foot fall, and it has to be done on time. 6. Why is it important to test your egg drop before the final “drop”? Because then I can see if it is going to fall apart and which way it falls 7. How does making an egg drop apply to a real world situation? THis is like an engineer bacause engineers have a problem and they have to find a solution some how. // 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? I think my 3d idea will work best  10. Why did you choose this design? Because it has more than one layer of protection 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: -dont burn yourself -Dont over use glue -Dont use more than 60 straws

 14. Were you nice, respective, responsible, and did you have a good attitude? Explain: I think I was nice, respective, responsible, and had good attitude. But I was kind of frustrated because I had to change my Idea half way through // b. Follow the Plan: // 15. Did you follow your plan?No It didnt work so i had to change it half way through 16. Did you create steps in your plan that were easy to follow?Yes I created easy to follow steps 17. Did you follow my requirements?Yes i followed all of the requirements // c. Create the Product/Solution: // 18. What areas of your plan needed troubleshooting? I didnt have enough straws to finish my original plan so i had to improvise // a. Evaluate the Product/Solution: // 19. Was your design successful? My design was almost successful. My egg broke but it almost survived 20. How could you improve your solution? I could glue more straws around and glue them more carefully 21. What part of your design would you use again? I would use my box idea 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? The design cycle can be used in all different subjects to create something 27. How can the Design Cycle be used in real world situations? (List three) manufacturing, engineering, and creating just about anything 28. Were you nice? Yes i was nice 29. Were you respectful to everyone in the class and all the equipment in the classroom? Yes I was nice and respectful to everyone and everything in the class 30. Were you a whiny-baby? No i wasnt a whiny-baby but i did scream when i burnt my fingers 31. On a scale of 1 - 6, give yourself a grade for your attitude:I think I deserve a 4 because even though i didnt show it much, i was on edge through out the whole assignment  ||
