Bell Work: 8/25/14 In what real-life careers would someone use the “Engineering Design Process” and how would this process be used in their job?

Scientific Method: (People) Purpose  State the problem; ask a question (Really) Research  Find out about the topic (Hate) Hypothesis  Predict the outcome of the problem (Eating) Experiment  Plan a procedure to test the hypothesis & test your hypothesis (Dark) Data/Analysis  Record the results of the experiment (Chocolate) Conclusion  Compare the hypothesis to the experiment conclusion

Scientific Method: Skittles Hypothesis:

Bell Work: 8/26/14 Selma hypothesizes that the mass of a sample of water will not change if it is frozen. She conducts an experiment to test her hypothesis. Her experimental steps are as follows: 1. Fill a beaker with 500 mL of water Place the beaker in the freezer. 4. After the water freezes, place the beaker on the balance and measure its mass. Which of the following steps is missing from Selma's experiment? A. Set a timer for 2 hours. B. Run the water through a filter to make sure there are no impurities in it. C. Use a thermometer to measure the water's temperature. D. Place the beaker on the balance and measure its mass.

Table of Contents 7. Engineering Design Process p. 17 With your Elbow Partner or group, you are going to predict what occurs in each step of the Engineering Design Process. After predictions, we will share our predictions and take additional notes.

Ask  define the problem, conduct research Imagine  brainstorm ideas, possible solutions Plan  draw a model or build a prototype, make a materials list Create  follow a plan to create the product, test the product, gather info./data Improve  evaluate results, improve the design, retest and re-evaluate PREDICT!

Bellwork August 28th This is a most unusual paragraph. How quickly can you find out what is so unusual about it? It looks so ordinary you’d think nothing was wrong with it and in fact, nothing is wrong with it. It is unusual though. Why? Study it, think about it, and you may find out. Try to do it without coaching. If you work at it for a bit, it will dawn on you. So jump to it and try your skill in figuring it out. Good luck and don’t blow your cool!
