1 Introduction to Paper Engineering

2 Objectives: Learn to use problem-based learning and engaging projects to develop basic pop-up cards and mechanisms from low or no-cost materials and supplies. Learn how to use simple materials and tools to develop paper engineering design challenges to address concepts in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, social studies, and English language arts.

3 Low or No-Cost Tools & Materials
Scissors, Hole Punches, Paper Drills, Rulers, Markers, Crayons, Colored Pencils Materials: File Folders, Paper, Card Stock, Notecards, Construction Paper, Paper Fasteners/Brads, Glue, Craft Sticks, Fuzzy Sticks Processes: Measuring, Cutting, Gluing, Fastening, Folding, Sectioning

4 Linkages to STEM Skills and Concepts
Tools and materials Sketches and models The eng. design process Communication of ideas Investigate structures – - aesthetics - strength - flexibility Creativity and innovation Brainstorming Making transfer of knowledge Exploring controls Troubleshooting Meeting wants and needs Alternative solutions Products and systems Criteria and constraints

5 Linkages to 21st Century Skills
Collaboration: two or more people work together toward a common goal—typically an intellectual endeavor that is creative in nature —by sharing knowledge, learning and building consensus Cooperation: the process of people or things working or acting together Communication: a process that allows an exchange of information Creativity: a mental process involving the generation of new ideas or concepts, or new associations between existing ideas or concepts. Problem solving: higher-order cognitive process that requires the modulation and control of more routine or fundamental skills  *Partnership for 21st Century Skills

6 Curriculum Connections
Science: Simple machines Work Force and motion Models, illustrations Materials/properties Human-made structures Energy (types, transfer) Control systems Human and animal body structure Math Manipulatives Measurement Angles Ratio and proportion Arc, diameter, circumference Symmetry Social Studies Structures Inventions

7 Curriculum Connections
Language Arts: Illustrations for stories Following directions Communication of ideas - verbal - written - pictorial Vocabulary development Journal writing Oral presentations Technology & Engineering Mechanisms Systems Tools, materials, & processes Troubleshooting Invention and innovation Experimentation Problem solving. Physical Education/Health How the body works Anthropometrics/Scale

8 Getting Started With Simple Mechanisms - PGS. 45- 51

9 Mechanisms All mechanisms transfer and control motion. The also have 2 things in common: Input motion and force Output motion and force

10 Mechanisms Mechanisms use four types of motion

11 Paper Engineering Design Challenges
Develop 3-dimensional pop-up card solution to one of the three themes listed below: Ocean Layers, States of Matter, or Resources Conduct research on the best way to develop your pop-up card solution that incorporates a minimum of two moving parts (levers or linkage mechanisms) using the concepts from the provided resources Be prepared to present your card and discuss how might you reinforce core content in your classroom using a Paper Engineering Design Challenge

12 Paper-Engineering Resources

13 The Featherweight Challenge
Working as a member of an engineering design team (2 students per team), design a paper truss using the least amount of paper that can support the weight of a one liter bottle of water. Design Requirements: Your paper truss must be at least 5” tall and 11” long and must use all 5 of the dowel rods on the testing station to support the weight. You may only use the following materials: 1 – 8.5” X 11Sheet of Paper 5 – Reinforcement Tabs Additionally, students may use a pair of scissors, hole-punch, ruler, and pencil.

14 I Can’t Reach You—The Who
Working as a member of an engineering design team (2 students per team), design a reach extender using cardboard and the Makedo® tools/fasteners that can be used to retrieve a pencil from the floor. Design Requirements: Your reach extender must add at least 12” to your arm length, must use only Cardboard, scissors, and Makedo® tools.
