= 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. ======

** THE DESIGN CYCLE **** EGG DROP DESIGN FOLDER ** // a. Identify the Problem: // 1. Identify the Problem: how to drop an egg from 15 feet with out 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? because they are students like us :) 4. Explain why not all Internet sources are trustworthy? because not all are accurate in their information. // c. Formulate a Design Specification // 5. List all the requirements you must meet to create the egg drop: use only straws and hot glue and make a egg "pod" that will prevent you egg from breaking  6. Why is it important to test your egg drop before the final “drop”? to know which way it falls  7. How does making an egg drop apply to a real world situation? for example the mars rover and how it got there safely and how it was able to work after it landed000 // 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 starship one 10. Why did you choose this design? we made it up 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: Touching the glue gun while plugged in could hurt you, dont poke your self with scissors, keep hands away from glue when gluing. 14. Were you nice, respective, responsible, and did you have a good attitude? Explain: yes i listened to my group and i worked with them nicely. // b. Follow the Plan: // 15. Did you follow your plan? We had the steps and completed them 16. Did you create steps in your plan that were easy to follow? Yes 17. Did you follow my requirements? Yes the egg didnt break the first time // c. Create the Product/Solution: // 18. What areas of your plan needed troubleshooting? when triangles didnt fit together in a circle // a. Evaluate the Product/Solution: // 19. Was your design successful? yes 20. How could you improve your solution? make the triangles fit together better 21. What part of your design would you use again? the triangles // b. Evaluate the Use of the Design Cycle: // 26. How can the Design Cycle be used in other subject areas? you could use it in school projects 27. How can the Design Cycle be used in real world situations? (List three) building a building, making a product, designing a car 28. Were you nice? YES :D 29. Were you respectful to everyone in the class and all the equipment in the classroom? YES :D 30. Were you a whiny-baby? NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 31. On a scale of 1 - 6, give yourself a grade for your attitude: 5
