Project Title: Move It! Group Members:BROOK,JADE AND KATE.

Group Roles: Designer: BROOK Prototype Builder : JADE Google Docs Guru:KATE

DESCRIPTION OF CONTEXT: Investigating ways of transferring energy to cause movement in vehicles

BRIEF: (add yours in here, copy and paste from this file) Mangonel To build a device to shoot a table tennis ball over a barrier, the height being increased after each round. You are only allowed to hold the ball before ‘firing’, you must not hold the frame of the device and neither may it be taped to the floor. Only one person from a team is permitted to hold and fire the mangle. You will be allowed one attempt at each barrier height, so your device must be reliable and also sufficiently robust to last several rounds. Assessment – SOLO Rubric (see below)
Prior Knowledge needed: How are forces used in the real world to create this type of movement? (provide examples and/or drawings from what you already know) * WE ARE USING FRICTION BY PUTTING THE BALLOON AND TOILET ROLL TOGETHER AND THEY ARE RUBBING TO CREATE FRICTION. * * *WHEN YOU PULL THE BALLOON BACK AND LET IT GO THRUST IS CREATED WHICH PUSHES THE PING PONG BALL FORWARDS.
Resources required: ping bong ball balloon toilet roll	KEY FOCUS: Follow the Technological Process Ask What is the goal? Why must we create this technology? Imagine What will the technology look like? What kind of research should we do? Plan How can we achieve the goal? Design your prototype Create Build a prototype(first design) and observe if problems occur. Improve Generate solutions/fixes to the original prototype Evaluate how successful your design was.

First Trial Notes

It went will but it was not great i thing we need to add somethings

Refinements Needed

it went 1.5m

Date completed

9/9

Second Trial Notes

it fell apart when we played with it

Refinements Needed

we need to make a new one

Date Completed

16/9

Final Trial Notes

It did not work and we need a new design

How successful was our design?

not really good but OK

Date Completed

17/9

How well did the members of our team work?

You have $300 to award to the members of your team according to:

the effort they put in to making your team work well
the effort they put in to helping your challenge to be successful.

Allocate the $300 amongst your team according to this criteria.

Name	$$ earned	Reason
1.JADE	100	BECAUSE SHE HAS HELPED A LOT AND GETTING OUT OF HER ZONE.
2.KATE	100	BECAUSE SHE HAS BEEN A GOOD MEMBER AND HELPING THE GROUP
3.BROOK	100	BECAUSE SHE HELPED BY USING HER BRAIN FOR THE WHEN SHE WAS DRAWING THE DESIGN

Apply the technological design process to solve our technology challenge.

Apply the technological design process to solve our technology challenge. Effective Strategies to use: 1. Ask What is the goal? Why must we create this technology? 2. Imagine What will the technology look like? What kind of research should we do? 3. Plan How can we achieve the goal? Design your prototype 4. Create Build a prototype(first design) and observe if problems occur. 5. Improve Generate solutions/fixes to the original prototype Evaluate how successful your design was.	I need help to apply the technological design process to solve our technology challenge.	I can apply the technological design process to solve our technology challenge if I am prompted or directed.	I use several strategies to apply the technological design process to solve our technology challenge but I am not sure when and or why to use them. (trial and error – aware of strategies but not sure why or when to use them so makes mistakes)	I use several strategies to apply the technological design process to solve our technology challenge and I know when and why to use them. (strategic or purposeful use of strategies – knows why and when ).	I use several strategies to apply the technological design process to solve our technology challenge and I know when and why to use them. I act as a role model for others to help them apply the technological design process to solve our technology challenge I seek feedback on how to improve how I can apply the technological design process to solve our technology challenge.
