// b. Develop the Design Brief: // ** 2. List four questions to research about creating an egg drop: **(ADD THE ANSWERS TO YOUR QUESTIONS) A: How is our egg going to live with only straws? What size is the egg mobile going to be? How will we get the egg to stick on there with no glue? How are we going to drop the egg? **3. List four resources that could answer your questions:** A: For letter "A" We can ask for ideas from other people. For "B" We can guess on the size of the egg. For "C" We can go to a Google.com to see if there are any ideas. For "D" We can ask our teacher. // c. Formulate a Design Specification - The Design Brief Continued: // STEP 2: PLAN //b. Plan a Product or Solution:// STEP 3: CREATE // a. Use Appropriate Techniques and Equipment: // // b. Follow the Plan: // // c. Create the Product/Solution: // STEP 4: EVALUATE // a. Evaluate the Product/Solution: // // b. Evaluate the Use of the Design Cycle: //
 * 4. How do you know that these resources are trustworthy? Give **
 * evidence for each site: **A: Our teacher wouldn't lie to us on how big the egg is. A guess can be good also because an egg size is just an oval.
 * 5. Explain why not all Internet sources are trustworthy?** A: Because some don't give enough information.
 * 6. List all the requirements you must meet to create the egg drop" **A: Straws, glue, and an egg.
 * 7. Add two of your own requirements:**A: More supplies and on the second drop our grade.
 * 8. How many times will you test your egg drop before the final drop?** A: Two - three times
 * 9. Why is it important to test your egg drop before the final drop?** A: So we can notice mistakes that we did and fix it.
 * 10. How does making an egg drop apply to a real world situation?** A: An airplane because it carries people inside it and if it falls they should know what to do.
 * 12. Which design do you think will work best? **A: Make a circle around the egg.
 * 13. Why did you choose this design?**A: So it can protect the egg entirely.
 * 14. List the steps to create your design: (You need to create your own steps and organize your time and resources.)** A: Put straws all over into a circle and make a little opening on the side to put the egg in.
 * 15. Did you need to troubleshoot your plan? What did you troubleshoot?** A: YES we will need to do that.
 * 16. List three safety tips you need to follow to while creating your egg drop: **A: Be careful with the glue and try not to make the mobile fall apart.
 * 17. Did you follow your plan? **A: Yes we followed it.
 * 18. Did you create steps that were easy to follow?**A: Yes
 * 19. Did you follow my requirements?** A: yes
 * 20. What areas of your plan needed troubleshooting? **A: When we had to make the door
 * 21. Was your design successful? No. **
 * 22. Did you test your egg drop before the final day? How many times did you test it? No **
 * 23. How could you improve your solution? Use A BIG Square **
 * 24. What part of your design would you use again? Create. **
 * 26. How can the Design Cycle be used in other subject areas? To Get Something Figured Out. **
 * 27. How can the Design Cycle be used in real world situations? Building A House, Building A Car, And Building A Computer. **

28. How is the Design Cycle important to the successful outcome of a project? Getting The Egg Drop To Work. ====== 29. What grade do you deserve and why? 3-4 Because its around the middle of my scores i chose.
