Matching Pairs Glider - Engineering DesignOnline version assignment by Benjamin D Morgan 1 Step 4: Construct a Prototype 2 Step 7: Re-Design 3 Step 1: Define the Problem 4 Scientific Method 5 Step 6: Evaluate my Solution 6 Step 8 - Present Solution 7 Step 3: Develop a Solution 8 Innovation 9 Engineering Design Process 10 Step 2: Generate Concepts 11 Invention 12 Step 5: Test my Prototype Stepwise process used to research how or why balsa wood gliders work AND the science concepts behind them Stepwise process used to innovate a balsa wood glider design by using scientific knowledge Compare how my design performs against other students in the class Change my balsa wood glider design based on my tests (throws) on it. This is when I go back to step 3 (Design a Solution) We are tasked with trying to design & build a balsa wood glider that will stay in the air the longest After building the glider that I designed to stay in the air the longest I will launch it & observe it. Building the very 1st balsa wood glider ever. Observe and time my balsa wood glider design as it flies AND think about how I can improve upon the design Build the balsa wood glider that I think will stay in the air the longest by following my design instructions Perform experiments on gliders AND learn science concepts around gliders to understand how they work Improving upon a balsa wood glider design. Come up with an idea by drawing a diagram of the balsa wood glider that I think will stay in the air the longest and be able to explain how to build it
