 * THE DESIGN CYCLE **


 * Approaches to Learning: Human Ingenuity **
 * Unit Questions: How is the Design Cycle important to the successful outcome of a project? **

//** a. Identify the Problem: **// 1. How does the Design Cycle apply to your project, life, and society? a. Project: b. Life (Think future jobs): c. Society: 2. Identify the problem: make something work with the rube goldberg
 * STEP 1: INVESTIGATE **

//** b. Develop the Design Brief: **// 3. What is a Rube Goldberg? putting lots of stuff together and make cool 4. What supplies do you have?a box straws tube, and some weird stuff. 5. What supplies do you need?what she gave us 6. List all the requirements you must meet to create the Rube Goldberg Machine: be creative and work hard 7. Add two of your own requirements: (You need to make sure you meet these requirements!) milk carton soda bottles 8. How many times will you test your machine before the final test? at least 5 time per day 9. Why is it important to test your machine before the final day? so you can know if it works or not 10. How does making a Rube Goldberg Machine apply to a real world situation? so you can be creative and have ideas.
 * // c. Formulate a Design Specification - The Design Brief Continued: //**

// a. Design a Product or Solution: // 11. Create three completely different designs: Please fill out this chart [|IB Brainstorming Chart .pdf] and hand the paper in the basket when you are finished with all of Step 2 (all of the Plan section).done // b. Plan a Product or Solution: // 12. Which design do you think will work best AND meet all the requirements? drop water in cup 13. Why did you choose this design? it works best for us On the back of your Brainstorming Chart, sketch your design and the parts you need to complete your Rube Goldberg. Don't forget you can bring two items from home per group. 14. List the steps to create your design: (You need to create your own steps and organize your time and resources. Each day you should have a list of things you need to accomplish in order to get done by the due date.) get cup and put water and then drop it on another cup
 * STEP 2: PLAN **

// a. Use Appropriate Techniques and Equipment: // 15. List three safety tips you need to follow to while creating your machine:not play with glue gun, no play with scissors, no horseplay. // b. Follow the Plan: // 16. Did you follow your plan?yes 17. Did you create steps that were easy to follow?yes 18. Did you follow my requirements? Look at the requirements, and put an "x" by all the requirements you met.yes 19. Did you follow your requirements? Look at the requirements, and put an "x" by the requirements you met.yes // c. Create the Product/Solution: // 20. What areas of your did you need to troubleshoot? 21. Were you able to troubleshoot effectively? Explain:
 * STEP 3: CREATE **

// a. Evaluate the Product/Solution: // 22. Was your design successful?yes it work perfect 23. Did you test your machine before the final day? How many times did you test it? 24. How could you improve your design? 25. What part of your design would you use again? // b. Evaluate the Use of the Design Cycle: // 26. Grade yourself, using the IB Rubric, for each stage of the Design Cycle. The Rubric on the Design Specifications page. 27. How can the Design Cycle be used in other subject areas? 28. How is the Design Cycle important to the successful outcome of a project? (Think about the steps you took to complete this assignment, did the steps make your design better or worse? Do you understand how the Design Cycle helps you solve problems?) 29. What grade do you deserve and why?
 * STEP 4: EVALUATE **
