Egg Drop Part 2
This will serve as part 2 of your end of unit project to demonstrate what you have learned about forces, impulse, and momentum for this unit.
Goal: Make your Egg Protection Device (Engineering Design ProcessĂ design optimization processĂ create a prototype), Test your device (Engineering Design ProcessĂ design optimization processĂ Design experiment and test prototype), and Improve your egg protection device. (Engineering Design ProcessĂ Gather feedback/dataĂ design optimization processĂ Design experiment and test prototype).
Design Challenge (Problem): Create a device that will prevent your egg from breaking when dropped.
Rules:
Learning Activities:
Create your device:
1. Create your Egg Protection Device.
2. Send a picture of your device to Ms. Hansen or upload onto Teams.
Test your device:
3. Put your egg in your device. If available, you might want to put your egg in a plastic bag to prevent a mess. You also might want to test your device outside or in an area that can be easily cleaned up.
4. Test your device! Start from low heights (25-50 cm), check your egg, and then keep moving up. Be sure to measure your drop height and record the results from each height.
5. If you can, video tape your drops and send them to Ms. Hansen or upload them onto teams.
6. Answer the following questions about the tests:
a. How well did your device protect your egg?
b. What did you do to reduce the force on your egg? How effectively did your device do this?
c. What would you improve about your device?
7. Email Ms. Hansen the videos (if available) and answers to questions 4a-c or upload onto Teams.
Improve your device:
1. Consider the data (results of the drops…did the egg break/crack?) from the tests. Use that data to design a new and improved egg protection device.
2. Draw a picture of that device. Label the materials used and their purpose.
3. Explain how your new device will apply the concepts of mass, velocity, momentum, force, time, and impulse to better protect the egg. If your device worked well last time. Think about how this device could allow your egg to be dropped from even higher heights.
4. Email your drawing and explanation to Ms. Hansen or upload onto Teams.
April 21-27
Egg Drop Part 1
This will serve as part 1 of your end of unit project to demonstrate what you have learned about forces, impulse, and momentum for this unit.
Goal: Work on the “Problem Definition” and “Design Exploration” portions of the Engineering Design Process for the Egg Drop.
Design Challenge (Problem): Create a device that will prevent your egg from breaking when dropped.
Rules:
Learning Tasks:
1. What are your limitations? Think about what you have easy access to at home that you could use to make your egg protection device
2. Draw TWO potential egg protective devices. Label the materials used.
3. For each device answer the following questions:
a. What are the strengths of each device? (identify at least 2 per device)
b. What are the weaknesses of each device? (identify at least 2 per device)
c. How will each device reduce the force of the impact on the egg? Explain for each device in 3-4 sentences. In each answer, include the terms mass, velocity, momentum, impulse, force, and time.
4. Upload onto Teams or email Ms. Hansen your drawings and answers to question 3a-c.
April 14-21
Goal: Connect the concepts of impulse and momentum to your life.
Learning Tasks:
1. Explain what impulse and momentum are in terms of mass, velocity, change in velocity, and time.
2. Find an example of how not mass, not velocity but the concept of MassVelocity (Momentum) is utilized or explains something in your life.
3. Take a picture, make a video, or draw an explanation about how this concept explains something in your life.
4. Write a paragraph explaining how your picture, video, or drawing shows the concept of MassVelocity (momentum).
5. Upload your picture, video, or drawing AND paragraph onto Teams or email to Ms. Hansen.
March 31-April 7, 2020
Goal: Review the concepts of impulse and momentum.
Learning Tasks:
