Infant Incubator Lesson 17
What needs to be changed about our design?
Estimated class Time:
One 40-minute class period
Question:
What needs to be changed about our design?
Materials:
- Criteria and constraints list
- Thermometers
- Heat packs
Lesson Level Learning Objectives:
- MS-ETS1-3 Analyze data from tests to determine similarities and differences among several design solutions to identify the best characteristics of each that can be combined into a new solution to better meet the criteria for success.
Phenomenon:
- Students will test their prototypes using the student generated criteria and constraints list.
What we Figured Out:
- Students learned how their prototype functioned in regards to the criteria and constraints.
- Students followed the design process of building a model, testing the model and making modifications.
Questions we still have:
- Will our new design be effective?
- Our data shows that the temperature does not say warm enough, how can we improve this?
- Some incubators worked better than others, how are they different?
