THE DESIGN CYCLE EGG DROP DESIGN FOLDER STEP 1: INVESTIGATE a. Identify the Problem: 1. Identify the Problem: I am going to make a egg-drop device to save an egg. b. Develop the Design Brief: 2. Research, and find designs that would work for your egg drop. I found some photos about it. 3. How do you know that these resources are trustworthy? I don't really know and I don't know the person who made it. 4. Explain why not all Internet sources are trustworthy? No because it might be a scam to get something. c. Formulate a Design Specification 5. List all the requirements you must meet to create the egg drop: must be made out of 60 straws. must not crack the egg. must be strong and must be strong enough to withstand being dropped from 15 feet.

6. Why is it important to test your egg drop before the final “drop”? Because you want to make sure it is stable and not break in midair. 7. How does making an egg drop apply to a real world situation? Can help us make a parachute made of straws, like making a parachute. STEP 2: PLAN 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? My third idea. 10. Why did you choose this design? It combines my first two ideas together. 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!) STEP 3: CREATE a. Use Appropriate Techniques and Equipment: 13. List three safety tips you need to follow to while creating your egg drop: don't hurt yourself with the glue gun. don't hurt yourself with the scissors. don't hurt anyone with the scissors and the glue gun.
14. Were you nice, respective, responsible, and did you have a good attitude? Explain: I was supposed to make the egg drop contraption and I did and was not supposed to burn myself I did a little. b. Follow the Plan: 15. Did you follow your plan? No I did not because the bottom is on the middle and the middle is on the bottom. 16. Did you create steps in your plan that were easy to follow? Yes and no, yes because it was easy for the bottom for support. No because it was long to build. 17. Did you follow my requirements? Yes I did it was fun to make. c. Create the Product/Solution: 18. What areas of your plan needed troubleshooting? STEP 4: EVALUATE a. Evaluate the Product/Solution 19. Was your design successful? Yes it was successful for the first drop. 20. How could you improve your solution? Have supports or straws sticking out the sides and wrap the basket with straws. 21. What part of your design would you use again? I would use planning 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? You would be able to think things out more and you can be more successful in any projects that you have to do or just anything in that project. 27. How can the Design Cycle be used in real world situations? (List three) When you build a building. When you are a manager of a business. When you are doing your homework you can plan out what to do first then keep going on until your finished. ATTITUDE 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 did not hurt anyone with the glue guns. 30. Were you a whiny-baby? No I was not a whiny baby. 31. On a scale of 1 - 6, give yourself a grade for your attitude: I say I deserve a 6 because my egg drop idea survived.
