- To design a glider that can both stay in the air a long time and can go the longest distance.
2) Brainstorm solutions:
What are the rules of brainstorming? (oxymoron)
-Brainstorming is when you gather ideas about what you want to do.
List your ideas
-Wings
-Sturdy
-Doesn't weigh too much
Sketch at least two of them
3) Specify:
-Criteria
-Constraints (be specific about materials available)
-Our criteria is to build a glider and throw it to see who gets the greatest distance.
-Our constraints are balsa wood, tissue paper, and we can only have a limited amount of balsa wood.
4) Develop Solutions:
-Sketch (with labels)
-Model in CAD
Good use of CAD to quickly model a potential design. Did you come up with any sketches? I'd like to see those!
ReplyDeleteGood job breaking out the material constraints. Were there any other constraints on the challenge?
You didn't need to design for both distance and time aloft but attempting both is great too.
