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