8/8/2016: EDP- Sculpture of a Raven
Sculpture of a Raven: EDP
Directions: Use THESE EDP QUESTIONS TO GUIDE YOU THROUGH the EDP process for building a Raven out of materials provided. Use the spaces provided to show your work. Although you are collaborating with a partner, EACH STUDENT is required to complete and submit THIS DOCUMENT.
ASK: PROBLEM, NEEDS AND CONSTRAINTS
What is the problem:
IMAGINE: DEVELOPING POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS
PLAN: Brainstorm ideas.
Now that you are away of the problem, requirements, constraints, and may have conducted your research, Write a short response to each of these questions. You must pick two different designs, discuss them, and then narrow it down to one choice.
DESIGN IDEA NUMBER ONE
DESIGN IDEA NUMBER TWO
PLAN: SELECTING A PROMISING SOLUTION
Choose the most promising choice
Create a QUICK SKETCH of the Design you plan to use.
CREATE: BUILD A PROTOTYPE
Materials: List the materials you used:
TEST AND EVALUATE PROTOTYPE AND REDESIGN AS NEEDED.
Follow your plan.
Write any problems you have and any changes you made to your design and why. If you did not encounter any problems, project potential problems that you averted due to your design decisions.
POST PROCESS QUESTIONS
Directions: Use THESE EDP QUESTIONS TO GUIDE YOU THROUGH the EDP process for building a Raven out of materials provided. Use the spaces provided to show your work. Although you are collaborating with a partner, EACH STUDENT is required to complete and submit THIS DOCUMENT.
ASK: PROBLEM, NEEDS AND CONSTRAINTS
What is the problem:
- Using the materials available to your Engineering Design Team, your team needs to design, engineer, and build a life-like raven.
- The Raven must have a footprint no larger than a 12” X 12” X 12” . You will need to cut out a piece of cardboard that has the dimensions: 12” X 12” and have the raven mounted onto it.
- You will need to submit a SKETCH of the design you will turn into a sculpture.
- You will have 1 week to complete this ENGINEERING PROBLEM, this includes the time for all preliminary paperwork, prototyping, testing, redesign, documentation, and submission of EDP Paperwork and final PROTOTYPE.
- Project Due Date: 8/12/2016.
- You will need to determine the constraints.
IMAGINE: DEVELOPING POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS
PLAN: Brainstorm ideas.
Now that you are away of the problem, requirements, constraints, and may have conducted your research, Write a short response to each of these questions. You must pick two different designs, discuss them, and then narrow it down to one choice.
DESIGN IDEA NUMBER ONE
- Briefly describe your design:
- List at least THREE things that are good about this design.
- List at least THREE things that are not so good about this design.
DESIGN IDEA NUMBER TWO
- Briefly describe this design:
- List at least THREE things that are good about this design.
- List at least THREE things that are not so good about this design.
PLAN: SELECTING A PROMISING SOLUTION
Choose the most promising choice
- Based on the information you have provided, decide which option is most likely to be successful. Which idea did you pick ONE OR TWO? What factor was the most important in helping you decide?
Create a QUICK SKETCH of the Design you plan to use.
CREATE: BUILD A PROTOTYPE
Materials: List the materials you used:
TEST AND EVALUATE PROTOTYPE AND REDESIGN AS NEEDED.
Follow your plan.
Write any problems you have and any changes you made to your design and why. If you did not encounter any problems, project potential problems that you averted due to your design decisions.
POST PROCESS QUESTIONS
- Did you meet all of the requirements? List any that you did not meet and include an explanation for each one.
- Compare your design to the constraints? If not, explain.
- Which constraint was the most limiting to your engineering team, explain.
- What is the final weight of your Raven in grams?
- What is the height of your Raven in centimeters?

8/5/2016: Crunching Data From Paper Bridge
Using the data from the EDP Paper Bridge Project: Determine the Mean, Mode, Median, and range of the Data set. Then, determine if there were any outliers in the data set.
Create a line graph to illustrate the data set. X= student groups, Y= N.
Create a line graph to illustrate the data set. X= student groups, Y= N.
8/4/2016: EDP - Paper Bridge
Paper Bridge: EDP Project
Design and build a paper bridge that will support a 700g weight.
Using the Engineering Design Process, design and build a paper bridge and turn these questions in by 8/5/2016.
Design and build a paper bridge that will support a 700g weight.
- piece of 8 1/2" x 11" paper
- 4 books
- Access to different weights
- Make two stacks of books of equal height. Put them 6 inches apart.
- Make a bridge by putting a sheet of paper across the books.
Using the Engineering Design Process, design and build a paper bridge and turn these questions in by 8/5/2016.
- Prior to testing your prototype, do you think that by using just one piece of paper, you can make a bridge that holds 700g?
- How much weight did your bridge support?
- Did your bridge support 700g?
- How can you make the bridge support more weight?
