Unit 1 test will be next week.Remember, I don’t make reviews.. First binder check will be next week = needs to

be updated to receive full credit.

Simple Steps of EDP

Is a series of steps that engineers use to guide them as they solve problem

Engineers don’t follow to rigid step by step process, it can begin at any point and go any direction because it is cyclic.

ASK

What is the problem?What have other done?What are the constraints?

Imagine

What are some solutions?Brainstorm ideas. Choose the best one.

Plan

Draw a diagram Make a list of materials you will need

Create

Follow you plan and create it!Test it!

Improve

Talk about what works, what doesn’t, and what could work better.

Modify your design to make it better. Test it again!

The Marshmallow Challenge

Why do you think it is important to have the ability to work with other people? Why is this important in science?

The Marshmallow Challenge!

The task is simple: in eighteen minutes, teams must build the tallest free-standing structure out of 20 sticks of spaghetti, one yard of tape, one yard of string, and one marshmallow. The marshmallow needs to be on top.

Use your notes on EDP to guide you…

Reflection

Who had the best structure? Let’s compare. What worked well? What didn’t? Why?What would have you done differently?What challenges did your group face? Was there an

easier part?How does this activity relate to the importance of

collaboration in science? How do we learn from our failures?

Homework.

EDP worksheetIdentify a problem within Memphis or nationally

that you would like to solve. Have it written down on loose leaf paper and detailed on WHY you want to create a resolution.
