Lesson 6 Design Cycle

Design Cycle

1. Do Now How do you think that your learning style will affect the way that you work in a group ? ( 3 complete sentences ) Learning styles: visual, auditory, kinesthetic, reading/writing

2. The Design Cycle

3. The Design Cycle

4. Inquiring and Analyzing Developing Ideas Creating the Solution Evaluating

5. 1. Inquiring and Analyzing Explain and justify the need Identify and prioritize research Analyze a range of existing products Summarize the analysis of the research

6. Inquiring and Analyzing Consider possibilities and ideas. Explore resources (online documents, books, magazines, materials and ingredients). Questions to ask: Do I have the materials that I need? Do I have enough time?

7. Inquiring and Analyzing EXAMPLE: MAKING BROWNIES Research online recipes at foodnetwork.com to find a list of highly rated recipes. What supplies will you need to make the brownies?

8. 2. Developing Ideas Develop a design specification Develop a range of design ideas Present and justify the final chosen design Develop planning drawings/diagrams

9. Developing Ideas Questions to ask: What should the final product look like? What are the dimensions? Color? Format?

10. Developing Ideas EXAMPLE: BROWNIES What do you want the brownies to look like? How do you want the brownies to taste? Soft or stiff? Icing or no icing?

11. 3. Creating the Solution Construct a logical plan Demonstrate technical skills Follow the plan to make the solution Justify changes made to the design

12. Creating the Solution This is where you put your plan to action. Most of your work will probably be done here.

13. Creating the Solution Example: Brownies Set the oven temperature. Mix the batter. Bake.

14. 4. EVALUATING Design testing methods Evaluate the success of the solution Explain how the solution could be improved Explain the impact of the solution

15. EVALUATING Example: Brownies How did they look? Taste? Burnt or just right?

16. Design Cycle These 4 phases do not always follow this pattern. Sometimes we must start over. Sometimes we must jump ahead. The Design Cycle is fluid. It’s about the journey, not just the final product.

18. Design Example: Duct Tape Bridge Explanation:   MythBusters Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage required not one — but two — episodes to test the full range of duct tape's properties. The duo dared to take the tape's strength to new heights by building a 100-foot-long (30.5-meter-long) bridge out of duct tape. Make note of when Jamie and Adam use any of the 4 design cycle steps during their creation process!

23. And now for…

24. ✦Build the Tallest Freestanding Structure: The winning team is the one that has the tallest structure measured from the table top surface to the top of the marshmallow . That means the structure cannot be suspended from a higher structure, like a chair, ceiling or chandelier. ✦ The Entire Marshmallow Must be on Top : The entire marshmallow needs to be on the top of the structure. Cutting or eating part of the marshmallow disqualifies the team.  ✦ Use as Much or as Little of the Kit : The team can use as many or as few of the 20 spaghetti sticks, as much or as little of the string or tape. The team cannot use the paper bag as part of their structure. ✦ Break up the Spaghetti, String or Tape : Teams are free to break the spaghetti, cut up the tape and string to create new structures. ✦ The Challenge Lasts 18 minutes : Teams cannot hold on to the structure when the time runs out. Those touching or supporting the structure at the end of the exercise will be disqualified. ✦ Does everyone understands the Rules ? Any questions?

25. Plan your design independently.

26. B rainstorm w ith design notes and sketches.

28. Reflection Exit Ticket: Write a reflection on how the Design Cycle worked for your group. In 4 complete sentences, tell me what your group did for each of the steps of the design cycle Inquiring and Analyzing How did you decide what the problem was? What solution were you solving? Developing Ideas How did you decide what to do to solve the problem? Creating the Solution How did you figure out how to put your plan into action? Evaluating How did you decide if your plan was a success or a failure? THIS IS YOUR EXIT TICKET FOR TODAY
