Science/Scientist
What are the 4 layers of soil we learned about?
Topsoil, Sand Layer, Clay Layer, Bedrock
An engineer is someone who uses ______________ knowledge and math to create solutions to PROBLEMS.
scientific
Only electric devices can be technologies. (T or F)
False! As long as it solves a problem.
The first step of the Engineering Design Process is...
Ask
What are our 3 Personal Standards?
Show Respect, Make Good Decisions, Solve Problems
What information could a scientist share with an engineer to let an engineer be able to create a wheel from stone?
Scientist would share: how stones work. What kind of molecules make up stones, how can we change them?
When humans first invented the wheel, that was the solution to solve what _______________________.
How can we move heavy things around?
Name a technology in this room that solves the problem of fixing ripped paper & things.
Our tape
The 2nd step of the Engineering Design Process is...
Imagine
What is a Model?
A smaller version of the “real thing”
Scientists try to figure out how the _________________ works.
universe, world
What is Technology
Is an apple a technology? Why or Why Not?
No. It was not created by someone to solve a problem.
The 3rd step of the Engineering Design Process is...
Plan
What homework is due on Friday's, and what happens if you don't turn it in?
Lunch detention the next week.
The difference between Scientists & Engineers can be pretty ______________.
Small / slight / insignificant
There are two main factors that Geotechnical Engineers need to consider when deciding how to anchor a building into a ground:
- the different soil layers present in the earth under the building site.
- the depth of each soil layer.
Name a technology in the room that was made to... -help you write -help you take notes -help you rest your elbows
Your table
When you have your plan in place, the 4th step is to...
BUILD & CREATE
What do Geotechnical Engineers take into consideration when building a site?
Geotechnical engineers take into consideration both the type of soil at the building location as well as how to build stable structures that are strong.
As scientists we must be safe while doing labs and experiments. Name a piece of safety equipment:
fire extinguisher, fire blanket, goggles, eye wash, broom...
There are MANY different kinds of engineers: list 3
Mechanical, Software, Biological, Electrical, Chemical, Nuclear, & many more :)
Tell 2 reasons why a backpack is a technology?
-It carries things in a convenient way. -It organizes different objects. -It keeps things off of the ground. -It can hold many different items. ...more ideas may work!
If after you TEST your design and it is NOT the way you like it, you should go to this step...
IMPROVE/ REDESIGN
What is the Engineering Design Process?
Ask, Imagine, Plan, Create, and Improve
