Tennessee SPI Objective: Identify the tools and procedures needed to test the design features of a prototype. Notes Science Essential Learning Students will analyze the design features of a prototype and determine the ideal tools and testing methods for the prototype. Essential Question What are the ideal tools and testing methods for testing a given prototype? SPI 0807.T/E.1 (Prototype Testing) Instructions for Students 1) Make sure you view this presentation in slideshow mode. 2) You can find instructions about how to do this by doing a Google search or by searching YouTube. 3) After you have it in slideshow mode, press the right-arrow keyboard button to advance through the presentation. 4) If you need help, please communicate with your teacher.

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

SPI 0807.T/E.1 (Prototype Testing) Procedures & tools for prototype testing depend on 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 a new type of headache medicine? C) How would you test a new type of camping tent?

Story Summary: Billionaire Bruce Wayne's parents are murdered by a criminal when he is a boy. So he vows to fight crime when he grows up. He has no superpowers, so he instead uses his brains, his martial arts skills, and technology to fight crime. Prototype Testing in the Movies -From the movie "Batman Begins” Who are you? I’m Batman

In this scene Mr. Fox is showing Mr. Wayne a prototype of a special material called "memory cloth." Prototype Testing in the Movies -From the movie "Batman Begins” Bruce later uses this cloth to glide through the air. Bruce Wayne Lucius Fox

In this scene Mr. Fox is showing Mr. Wayne a prototype of a special vehicle called "the Tumbler." Bruce later uses it as his "Batmobile" vehicle. Prototype Testing in the Movies -From the movie "Batman Begins” Does it come in black? How do you like it?

In this scene Alfred is testing the prototype of Batman's mask by hitting it with a baseball bat. Prototype Testing in the Movies -From the movie "Batman Begins” It fails the test and breaks, so they must modify it and re-test it.
