  2. Structure of Lesson • Strand- Interdisciplinary Learning • Domain- Design, Creativity and Technology • Dimensions- Investigating and Designing, Producing, Analysing and Evaluating. • Level- 4 grades 5-6

  3. Learning Outcomes • Students will gain an understanding of the concepts of design/design briefs through the use of materials and systems. • Develop techniques to create solutions to the required design brief. • Analyse how products and systems function.

  4. The Great Egg Drop Challenge • Your task is to create a craft that will protect your pilot when dropped from 4 metres high.

  5. Price Check • You have only $5000.00 to purchase the items you require from the Shop. The items are as follows: 1 Balloon $3000.00 1 Paper $1000.00 1 Straw $500.00 4 Paper Clips $200.00 1 Stick $100.00 1 Cotton Ball $50.00 Sticky Tape $500.00 String $500.00 Pilot come FREE of Charge

  7. Choose your design team of 2-4, teacher will decide and a construction inspector (leader) • You will be given 5 minutes planning time to discuss and design your craft. • You will be given a Purchase Card • After planning time your team will be called to the shop to purchase your items. • You will be given 20 minutes of construction time

  8. At the end of your construction time, launching will commence at the designated launching pad (outside). • Each team will be called up one at a time to the Launch Pad. • The winning craft is the pilot that makes a safe landing (no damage or fine crack)

  9. Designing • Your designing time is 5mins • During this time you need to consider the following: • Money • Time • Safety features of your pilot

  10. Creating • Your creating time is 10mins • During this time you need to consider the following: • Your pilot needs to be inside the capsule • All materials must be used

  11. You now need to select one group member, from your group to come and discuss your capsule. • This would include: • How you made it eg: the materials that you used, and why? • Pilots name? • What you think will happen (hypothesis)?

  12. Launching Time • Now for the real test………… • Colin will now individually, one at a time, perform the “Worlds Greatest Egg Drop.”

  13. Evaluation • As a group you now need to get back together and discus the results of your drop… • When doing this you need to consider: • What happened? • Why it happened (reflect on design)? • How would you change it and why?
