** THE DESIGN CYCLE **** EGG DROP DESIGN FOLDER ** // a. Identify the Problem: // 1. Identify the Problem: We have to make a raw egg survive a 15 foot fall. // 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 came up with the ideas our self so I hope we are trustworthy. 4. Explain why not all Internet sources are trustworthy? People can go on an edit them so it is incorrect. // c. Formulate a Design Specification // 5. List all the requirements you must meet to create the egg drop:
 * STEP 1: INVESTIGATE **

=**Requirements: ** =
 * 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”? To see if your idea will work or not. 7. How does making an egg drop apply to a real world situation? Making durable objects with limited resources. // 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 cube with an inner circle. 10. Why did you choose this design? It seems it would work best. 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 burn yourself, don't burn others, and don't hog the glue. 14. Were you nice, respective, responsible, and did you have a good attitude? Explain: yes we always were safe and never were bad or disruptive. // b. Follow the Plan: // 15. Did you follow your plan? We ended up not making an inner shell but other than that we did. 16. Did you create steps in your plan that were easy to follow? Yes we were able to get everything done that we needed to. 17. Did you follow my requirements? Yes we did everything you asked of us. // c. Create the Product/Solution: // 18. What areas of your plan needed troubleshooting? like i said we never made our inner shell because we were out of straws. // a. Evaluate the Product/Solution: // 19. Was your design successful? YES!!! 20. How could you improve your solution? Make the sides of the pod more durable. 21. What part of your design would you use again? The confetti (used straws) // 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? You can use it in any subject when creating a project. To create a good project you use these steps. 27. How can the Design Cycle be used in real world situations? Architect: building strong buildings,Game Designers: Building a fun game, Students: Creating a worthy project. 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:6
