Engineer Design Process
This is when you define the problem.
What is ask?
This is a test model of an idea.
What is a prototype?
A force is this.
What is a push or a pull?
This is a series of repeated events.
What is a pattern?
This is the force that pulls objects toward one another.
What is gravity?
This step is used to generate ideas.
What is imagine?
Engineers plan to develop a new drill for oil rigs. This is what engineers should do first to develop the new drill.
If forces are equal in strength, they are this.
What is balanced?
A weight on a string hangs from a single point. It swings back and forth creating a pattern in motion. The pattern of motion is called this.
What is a pendulum?
Objects with more mass have more of this.
What is gravity?
This step is used when you present results.
What is Share?
An engineer has just finished building a prototype of a vehicle that is powered by the sun. This is the next step in the design process.
What is test the prototype?
Forces that push or pull in the same direction are this.
What are added to make the force greater?
This force resists motion or slows something down.
What is friction?
The amount of gravitational force between two objects is determined by these two things.
What are distance and mass?
What is test?
Budget, time frame, materials and size are examples of this.
What are constraints?
Energy is this.
What is the ability to do work?
If comparing the length of string on two pendulums, this can describe the motion of the pendulum with the longer string.
What is the motion will be slower?
This would happen to Earth's orbit if the sun no longer had a gravitational field.
This is what is done when changes are needed.
What is improve?
If a design flaw is discovered, this is the next logical step for the design team.
What is modify the design to find the problem?
This happens when forces are unbalanced.
A book is pushed across the floor and stops moving. This is the reason the book stopped.
What is friction?
If you leave Earth, this would change for you.
What is your weight?
