Engineering Project: Redesign & Testing (Day 2 of 2)
QUICK VIEW
CW/HW: [1] Complete redesign for the egg extractor, cut out, assemble, and get approval. [2] Make approved design from the stronger folder paper.
DN: Work on your designs.
Reminder: IF YOU DIDN’T FINISH TODAY, YOU WILL HAVE TO FINISH AT LUNCH. LAST CHANCE IS NEXT FRIDAY.
RESOURCES
LESSON OUTLINE
5min Students complete the Do Now by finishing designs.
10min> Students complete designs and get approval to move up to making it out of folder paper.
30min Students test approved models for their ability to take out chuck-ken eggs. Unsuccessful designs have to be redesigned to remove or improve design flaws that prevent it from working successfully.
5min Clean up. Wrap up.
AIM: Students will build an egg extractor using common inexpensive materials by first asking questions, imagining solutions and problems, planning their design, constructing their device, and refining their design for improved results.
