TCAP Objectives Notes Science SPI 0807.T/E.1 Prototype Testing Essential Learning Students will identify tools and procedures needed to test a prototype. Essential Question What are appropriate tools and procedures used in testing a prototype?

Steps 4 and 5 are the steps of the EDP where we test our prototypes  Notes SPI 0807.T.E.1 (Prototype Testing) SPI 0807.T/E.2 (Eng. Design Process) SPI 0807.T/E.1 Identify the tools and procedures needed to test the design features of a prototype Steps 4 and 5 are the steps of the EDP where we test our prototypes (1) (3) (2) (4) (5)

Engineering Design Process-Prototype Testing Notes SPI 0807.T/E.1 (Prototype Testing) Science Engineering Design Process-Prototype Testing The 4th step in the eng. design process is testing your prototype Often, the prototype does not work very well at first Testing a prototype can be dangerous (see picture below) By testing the prototype, the designers find problems to fix They fix the problems and then test it again. They repeat this over & over. (This is step 5 of the eng design process.) Here is a picture of Orville and Wilbur Wright testing their prototype airplane

Notes SPI 0807.T/E.1 (Prototype Testing) Science SPI 0807.T/E.1 Identify the tools and procedures needed to test the design features of a prototype The procedures and tools for testing a prototype are dependent upon the type of technology and the purpose for that technology. For Example: You would not test a new cell phone the same way you would test a new jet airplane or a new football helmet. Discuss These Questions: A) How would you test a prototype of a new type of eyeglasses? B) How would you test a prototype of a new type of headache medicine? C) How would you test a prototype of a new type of camping tent?

Prototype Testing in the Movies -From the movie "Batman Begins" Notes SPI 0807.T.E.1 (Prototype Testing) SPI 0807.T/E.2 (Eng. Des. Process) Science Prototype Testing in the Movies -From the movie "Batman Begins" Story summary: Billionaire Bruce Wayne's parents are murdered by a criminal when he is boy. So he vows to fight crime as a vigilante when he grows to manhood. Yet he has no superpowers, so he instead uses technology devices to enable him to fulfill his mission.

Prototype Testing in the Movies -From the movie "Batman Begins" In this scene Mr. Fox is showing Mr. Wayne a prototype of a special vehicle called "the Tumbler." Bruce later paints it black and uses it as his "Batmobile" vehicle.
