Inspirational Quote of the Day: Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.- Arther Ashe 

Objective:7.2 Lesson 7 How did our design compare to others in the class? 

Standards:

MS-PS1-6:

Undertake a design project to construct, test, and modify a device that either releases or absorbs thermal energy by chemical processes.

MS-ETS1-2:

Evaluate competing design solutions using a systematic process to determine how well they meet the criteria and constraints of the problem.

MS-ETS1-3:

Analyze data from tests to determine similarities and differences among several design solutions to identify the best characteristics of each that can be combined into a new solution to better meet the criteria for success.

MS-ETS1-4:

Develop a model to generate data for iterative testing and modification of a proposed object, tool, or process such that an optimal design can be achieved.

Warm-Up: Take 5 Warm-up

To Do List:

Day 4 Challenge FeeltheHeatSE

NAVIGATION

Prepare for sharing their designs with partner teams.

EXCHANGE IDEAS WITH PARTNER TEAMS

Share designs with partner teams.

SHARE IN A WHOLE-CLASS DISCUSSION THE MOST PROMISING DESIGN CHARACTERISTICS

Meet in the Engineers Circle to share and record the most promising design characteristics.

ADD TO OUR PROGRESS TRACKERS

Update students’ Progress Trackers.

INDIVIDUALLY RANK CRITERIA AND CONSTRAINTS

Individually consider priorities among criteria and constraints and the consequences of making certain changes.

Check for Understanding:We provide and receive critiques about our flameless heater designs with other teams and work as a class to identify the most promising design characteristics. As we do this, we realize that we don’t know how to evaluate how easy our design instructions are to follow because we never had anyone else put them together. We decide to have another group test how easily they can follow our instructions in our next redesign.
