Tennessee SPI Objective: Instructions for Students SPI 0807.T/E.1 (Prototype Testing) Notes Science Tennessee SPI Objective: Identify the tools and procedures needed to test the design features of a prototype. 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. 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?

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

Picture of Orville and Wilbur Wright testing their prototype airplane SPI 0807.T/E.1 (Prototype Testing) Notes Science Engineering Design Process-Prototype Testing The 4th 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) SPI 0807.T/E.1 Identify the tools and procedures needed to test the design features of a prototype 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?

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 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. Who are you? I’m Batman
