KLEWS Chart – Blueprints K: KnowL: LearnE: EvidenceW: WonderS: Scientific What do we think we already know? What do we want to learn about these topics? List here evidence we have gathered from our research and engineering project. What do we still wonder about? List the scientific principles we’ve learned here.

Class Discussion Questions What information from your KLEWS chart will you use today as you are creating your blueprint? What information do you still need?

Lesson Connection Blueprints and diagrams are one way engineers communicate their designs. The written word is another way. In any event, the ability to clearly communicate your design to others is critical. Decisions makers need to understand what you want to build. Customers need to understand what you are building so they can decide to buy it. Manufacturing needs to be able to actually produce what you design. Maintenance needs to understand your design so they can keep it working. In order for your task to be done successfully, you will need to be able to visualize and design, on paper, what your model will look like with dimensions and labels.

Today’s Lesson You will begin on the design phase of your model - circuit, spacecraft, and test hardware box. You will need to create a blueprint of your models with dimensions and labels.

Blueprint Examples Link:

Circuits For the electrical, you would usually do this as a schematic and not have actual dimensions except maybe for the wire going to the magnet.

Spacecraft 1.The spacecraft should hold the egg in a sealed plastic bag to prevent a mess in case of breakage. 2.The drawing should show how the egg is inserted and secured.

Test Hardware Box The box provides a way to hold the spacecraft until testing. The electromagnet from the electronics should mount to the top of the box so the spacecraft will stay put until the release button. Typically, a removable shelf will hold the egg until the magnet is engaged and then be removed prior to the test. This can be as simple as a large cardboard box with window and access holes, a slot for the shelf, and the shelf (perhaps from the cut out part of a window) along with a mounting hole for the electromagnet.

Design Trades, Criteria and Constraints Review the constraints, design trades and criteria for each model Egg Engineering Team Challenge (EDH pgs. 8-9) Remember, you will be graded on how well you adhere to the Design Trades, Criteria and Constraints Eggs should have astronauts drawn on them

Criteria For Success for Blueprint You must include measurements for all 3 models: circuit, spacecraft, and test hardware box You must label each part of all 3 models: circuit, spacecraft, and test hardware box You must have sufficient detail on your blueprint that someone could build what is on your blueprint without having to ask you questions Egg Engineering Workspace (EDH pgs ) Time: 30 Minutes

Feedback is the Breakfast for Champions Teams will place their blueprints onto their table. You will give feedback to the other engineering teams on their blueprints. Each group will rotate to each group and write feedback on the Blueprint Feedback Form to other teams. You will leave the sheet of feedback on the table. Time: Each rotation will be 2 minutes

Feedback is the Breakfast for Champions As groups are rotating, you will need to answer the following questions: – How did the teams create their blueprints? – What are their measurements? – What are their constraints? – What are their design trades? – Did the team meet the criteria of success for the blueprint? Note: Scientific Journalist should be the person writing the feedback. The Principal Investigator should be asking the questions to the team. Every team member should contribute to the discussion.

Feedback is the Breakfast for Champions You will take 2 minutes to list how your team worked after day 4 aligned to their group norms. You will share out your findings. The audience will give critical feedback and possible solutions on what the team can do better tomorrow. Each group will have 1 minute to share. Audience will have 1 minute to provide critical feedback and possible solutions. The team receiving feedback will write it down on their feedback template. Teams will make adjustments if needed.

Lesson Closing Blueprints and diagrams are one way engineers communicate their designs. The written word is another way. In any event, the ability to clearly communicate your design to others is critical. Decisions makers need to understand what you want to build. Customers need to understand what you are building so they can decide to buy it. Manufacturing needs to be able to actually produce what you design. Maintenance needs to understand your design so they can keep it working. Homework:  You will continue to make modifications to your blueprints. You will bring this information back to class tomorrow to help guide you on Day 5 of the Egg Engineering Unit.

Today’s Lesson Feedback is what engineers get from their teammates and stakeholders to ensure that they are creating great projects. Today, you will present your apparatus to the other teams and receive feedback.

Today’s Lesson Teams will place their apparatus and blueprints onto their table. The Principal Investigator and the Scientific Journalist will stay at the tables to present their apparatus to the groups as they rotate through. Each group will rotate to each table and write feedback to give to the other teams on the Apparatus Feedback Form #1. The Scientific Journalist will write down the feedback they received on the Apparatus Feedback Form Each rotation will last 4 minutes. Be sure to ask questions as you rotate.

Apparatus Feedback Students will have the Design Trades, Criteria, and Constraints (EHH pgs. 8-9) with them to ensure that they are providing their teammates great feedback for them to consider when making adjustments to their apparatus. Some examples of questions to ask: How did your team’s blueprints and apparatus compare? Did you make any changes after you started to build your apparatus? Did the team meet the criteria of success - design trade, criteria, and constraints? – How much money did you spend? – What did you choose this material opposed to using something else? – Are your spacecraft sides no greater than 6 inches? – How many batteries did you use and why? If you used more than one, how are the connected? – Why do you think your egg will survive?

Adjustments! Teams take 15 minutes to discuss the feedback they received. Teams make adjustments to their apparatus if needed.

Feedback is the Breakfast for Champions You will take 2 minutes to list how your team worked after day 6 aligned to your group norms. You will share out your findings. The audience will give critical feedback and possible solutions on what the team can do better tomorrow. Each group will have 1 minute to share.
