2) Your Glider Challenge: Design Phase notes.
1) What's the challenge?
- the challenge that were were given was to design a glider that flies the farthest and has the most hangtime.
2) Brainstorm solutions:
-What are the rules of brainstorming? (oxymoron)
- my group and i needed to keep in mind that we are gunna have a list of material that we have.
-List your ideas
- build a plane designed for gliding not speed
-Sketch at least two of them
3) Specify:
-Criteria
- the glider should fly
- have fair amout of hang time
-Constraints (be specific about materials available)
- we were to be givin 5 pieces of very thin balsa wood and a 2 by 2 piece of tissue paper to construct our wings.
4) Develop Solutions:
-Sketch (with labels)
-Model in CAD
3) Your Glider Challenge: Test Phase notes.
4) Your Glider Challenge competition day results. How did your glider perform? What would you change if we competed again?
- our glider won the loingest distance challenge, but preformd poorly when we attempted to get the acheivment of longest hangtime. if we were to rredesign the plane we would take of weight on the nose and widen the wings to increase hangtime.
Good job using the 4 Quadrant technique for generating feedback.
ReplyDeleteI'm also pleased to see that you used dimensions on your sketch.
Next time you create a CAD model, try assembling multiple parts in an assembly rather than using a single part. As you work on more complex projects, this will be more and more important.
What other cirteria or constraints were there?
Mike, where's your Egg Drop Challenge post?
ReplyDeleteThat's worth a lot of points! Please get that up so you don't take a 0 on it.
