    9. Orthographic Projections

    Learning Target: I can sketch and develop orthographic projections of model blocks A, B, C, D, E/F, G, H, I and J.

    Notes

    Example  Example

    10. Orthographic Projection Design Activity

    Learning Target: I can design, sketch, and present a product that could be used to solve a problem around my house, using an orthographic projection.

    Example:

    Problem: I have a fire pit in my back yard to enjoy camp fires, however, I have no place to keep my fire wood. Currently, the wood is stacked in the grass. Having the wood stacked like this rots the bottom logs, attracts rodents/insects, and kills the grass.

    Solution: Design and build a fire wood rack to keep the wood off of the ground, keep the wood dry, and in good condition for burning.

    Example  Example

    11. The Design Process

    Learning Target: I can generate a list of problems at my home or school, choose one of those problems and then use The Design Process to develop the best possible solution to that problem. 

    Video: The Engineering Design Process

    The Design Process assists people in coming up with the best possible solution to a problem.

    Example: The Fire Wood Rack

    1 - Define the Problem - I have a fire pit in my back yard to enjoy camp fires, however, I have no place to keep my fire wood. Currently, the wood is stacked in the grass. Having the wood stacked like this rots the bottom logs, attracts rodents/insects, and kills the grass.

    2 - Gather Information - Best location for it? How big should it be? (length, height, depth)

    3 - Research what has been done in the past - Google searched "Firewood Racks" and looked through images

    4 - Develop/sketch multiple possible solutions - Developed orthographic projection, to scale, for true measurements

    5- Select the best solution and impliment it/ build it - Gathered materials (2x4s, 4x4s, screws, impact driver) and built it

    6 - Test the solution, gather feedback, and use this information to modify and improve - Currently using, eventually added roof to it, as firewood was still getting wet

    13. Isometric Projections - Blocks A, B, C, D, E/F, G, H, I, J

    Learning Target: I can sketch and develop several isometric projections.

     Example  Example

     

     14. Product Design Characteristics

    Learning Target: I can analyze several products and explain each product's aesthetics, function, ergonomics, durability, and cost - then determine if each product is designed well, or poorly.

    Aesthetics – make it look good/ beautiful

    Function – make it work

    Ergonomics – make it comfortable

    Durability – make it last over time

    Cost – spend little making it, sell high, but affordable

     Example  Example  Example  Example  Example  Example

    Example

    Phone Charger from Seven Eleven – 4 stars

    A – white in color – looks clean, glossy adapter

    F – charged phone – did what it had to do

    E – fits comfortably in one hand

    D – worked well for several weeks, then stopped working

    C  - $7 – not bad, cheaper at Five Below

    15. Paper Tower Design Activity

    Learning Target: I can design, sketch, and build a free-standing tower as tall as possible.

     Paper Tower Activity

    16. Straw Tower Design Activity

    Learning Target: I can design, sketch, and build a free-standing tower to hold a tennis ball as far off the table top as possible.
