Today’s Agenda:
Class Share Out:
Review the Engineering design process Answer Key
Review of Mapping the engineering design process.
Review of Questions
Direct Instruction:
Class to take Notes on Problem Definition, Research, and Identifying Criteria and Constraints
Define the Problem
What is the problem or need?
Who has the problem or need?
Why is it important to solve?
The format for writing a problem statement uses your answers to the questions and follows these guidelines:
Who need(s) what because why.
_____ need(s) _________ because ________.
Background Research
many problems have existing solutions.
many solutions are inadequate - need improvement
learn from the experience of others.
Focus on:
potential users/customers
existing/previous solutions
Specify Requirements For a Solution
Criteria - required or desired characteristics in a solution
Think about users and the problem description
list criteria
Constraints - restrictions or obstacles to a solution
Review the problem descritption
identify and list constraints

How Does Insulation Affect Heat Loss?
Experiment Protocol
Team assignment
Select one material from our material bank.
Wrap cans with the material.
Use elastics to secure it.
adjust it so the cover will cover it.
Make sure the thermometer is properly adjusted (short side of block ).
check adjustment without the styrofoam insulator beneath it.
Set up your test equipment
Place styrofoam insulator on the test stand
place can on the styrofoam.
Adjust insulation so the cover fits evenly over the top of the can.
Get water when instructed by the teacher.
transport in the double styrofoam cups with a meat tray cover to keep heat in.
Prepare a stopwatch.
Pour water into the test can when instructed to do so.
start the stopwatch
adjust so thermometer is centered and lower the cover.
put weights on the cover to keep it tight.
take temp every 1 minute.
clean up when finished.

How Does Insulation Affect Heat Loss - Final Experiment Protocol
all cans will sit on a styrofoam insulating pad.
All thermometers will have their height set by a standard block (as demonstrated).
All water will be transported in a styrofoam cup with a cover to minimize heat loss.
all experiments will be strated at the same time
The offical time will count down on the television.
