- The challenge is to build a glider to be able glide as far as possible with limited paper and wood
2) Brainstorm solutions:-What are the rules of brainstorming? (oxymoron)
- the rules of brainstorming are to develope and write down your ideas on paper so you can see all your ideas
-List your ideas - we had a couple, one was two small wings in the front and back and a raised big wing in the middle - we did this one
- another idea we had was had 1 big bending wing from the front to back but when we tried it the wood broke
-Sketch at least two of them
- we chose the first idea
3) Specify:-Criteria
- our criteria was to build a glideable glider with soft paper and bendy wood
-Constraints (be specific about materials available) - we had limited bulsa wood and limited soft paper to build a glider
What are your goals for your glider and how did you adjust your design in order to help it better meet them?
- our goal is to make it glide straight without it leaning back or diving straight into the ground. We adjust the lifting of the wings so it doesnt make it fly back and we added more weight to the back and middle.
Hi Drew,
ReplyDeleteYou're off to a good start capturing the iterative nature of this experience. Use the 4 Quadrant Feedback technique we discussed to better communicate this.
I can see how the two ideas you sketched differ. What are the dimensions you had in mind for these drawings?
Good job putting together a CAD model. Next time see if you can use multiple parts in an assembly rather than just one complex part. That becomes important as projects become more complex.
