= 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.

= When you are finished: =

=
 Take a picture of your egg drop. ======



=
 Add your pictures to the end of your Design Folder. ** STEP 1: INVESTIGATE ** ====== // a. Identify the Problem: // > 1. Identify the Problem: Must make egg survive 15 foot drop. > // b. Develop the Design Brief: // > 2. Research, and find designs that would work for your egg drop. I do not feel the need to research because my ideas are awesome. > 3. How do you know that these resources are trustworthy? I believe my ideas are good because i can visualize them in my head. > 4. Explain why not all Internet sources are trustworthy? Because some sites are made by con-men, the internet is not safe. > // c. Formulate a Design Specification // > 5. List all the requirements you must meet to create the egg drop:
 * 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 know if the pod can survive a drop and not fall apart. > 7. How does making an egg drop apply to a real world situation? It helps us think of engineering ideas and how much damage gravity can cause on an object. > ** STEP 2: PLAN ** > // a. Design a Product or Solution: // > 8. Create three completely different designs using the Brainstorming Chart. Done! > [|IB Brainstorming Chart .pdf] > // b. Plan a Product or Solution: // > 9. Which design do you think will work best? My third design the thick shell. > 10. Why did you choose this design? It looks very strong and will be difficult in design. (Sad face) > 11. On the back of your brainstorming paper, draw your final draft. Ok. > 12. Plan how you will get the entire project finished by May 11. (I will help you with this step!) Good to know! > ** STEP 3: CREATE ** > // a. Use Appropriate Techniques and Equipment: // > 13. List three safety tips you need to follow to while creating your egg drop: Three safety tips are to be careful, be safe and wear a helmet. > 14. Were you nice, respective, responsible, and did you have a good attitude? Explain: Of coarse i was cool with everything eventhough my egg died. > // b. Follow the Plan: // > 15. Did you follow your plan? I followed the plan almost perfectly. > 16. Did you create steps in your plan that were easy to follow? Yes i did i only needed to troubleshoot the shape of the pod. > 17. Did you follow my requirements? To the letter, I did. > // c. Create the Product/Solution: // > 18. What areas of your plan needed troubleshooting? The shape of my pod needed to be changed. > ** STEP 4: EVALUATE ** > // a. Evaluate the Product/Solution: // > 19. Was your design successful? No it kinda blew up..... > 20. How could you improve your solution? I have no idea it was perfect next time lots more glue! > 21. What part of your design would you use again? The shape but the door would probably be changed. > // 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. Ok. > 26. How can the Design Cycle be used in other subject areas? It can be used to get ideas or get better grades. > 27. How can the Design Cycle be used in real world situations? (List three) You can use it in science class, business, and in tech class. > ** ATTITUDE ** > 28. Were you nice? Very much so. > 29. Were you respectful to everyone in the class and all the equipment in the classroom? Yes i was. > 30. Were you a whiny-baby? NO. > 31. On a scale of 1 - 6, give yourself a grade for your attitude I defiantly deserve a 6 for my hard work.
