Homework:

Research is due tomorrow

Today’s Agenda:

Complete your Research on Hot Drink Solutions

  • Turn it in

Identify at least 2-5 different kinds of products designed to keep drinks warm/cold.

  • All teams must do 2 plus the number of team members.

    • 1 person -2

    • 2 persons - 3

    • 3 persons - 5

  1. Include a name, picture, and write a paragraph describing the product.

  2. Make a table of Advantages and Disadvantages related to the product.

  3. Identify and describe what you can learn from the product that may impact your design.

  4. Cite your source in correct MLA format.

Each team must brainstorm at least two possible solutions to the problem or one solution per team member (whichever is greater).

All designs must be based on the materials we have available.

Each solution must be modeled with a neat drawing showing its construction and all of its parts labeled. Also include a written description of its advantages and possible weaknesses.

  1. Title at the Top

  2. Use graph paper and a ruler - make it neat.

  3. Show a side view.

  4. Drawing must be to scale.

    • 1:1 or 1:2

  5. Key parts/components must be identified and labeled.

  6. Show hidden (internal) features with dotted/dashed lines.

Homework:

None

Today’s Agenda:

Class Share Out:

Review the Engineering design process Answer Key

  • Review of Mapping the engineering design process.

  • Review of Questions

Direct Instruction:

Class to take Notes on Problem Definition, Research, and Identifying Criteria and Constraints

Define the Problem

  • What is the problem or need?

  • Who has the problem or need?

  • Why is it important to solve?

  • The format for writing a problem statement uses your answers to the questions and follows these guidelines:

    • Who need(s) what because why.

    • _____ need(s) _________ because ________.

Background Research

  • many problems have existing solutions.

  • many solutions are inadequate - need improvement

  • learn from the experience of others.

  • Focus on:

    • potential users/customers

    • existing/previous solutions

Specify Requirements For a Solution

  • Criteria - required or desired characteristics in a solution

    • Think about users and the problem description

    • list criteria

  • Constraints - restrictions or obstacles to a solution

    • Review the problem descritption

    • identify and list constraints

Homework:

None

Today’s Agenda:

How Does Insulation Affect Heat Loss?

Experiment Protocol

  • Team assignment

  • Select one material from our material bank.

  • Wrap cans with the material.

    • Use elastics to secure it.

    • adjust it so the cover will cover it.

  • Make sure the thermometer is properly adjusted (short side of block ).

    • check adjustment without the styrofoam insulator beneath it.

  • Set up your test equipment

    • Place styrofoam insulator on the test stand

    • place can on the styrofoam.

    • Adjust insulation so the cover fits evenly over the top of the can.

  • Get water when instructed by the teacher.

    • transport in the double styrofoam cups with a meat tray cover to keep heat in.

  • Prepare a stopwatch.

  • Pour water into the test can when instructed to do so.

    • start the stopwatch

    • adjust so thermometer is centered and lower the cover.

    • put weights on the cover to keep it tight.

  • take temp every 1 minute.

  • clean up when finished.
