Do Now: Wednesday 8.26

Key Information Objective: I can create an adaptive or

assistive device. Essential Question: Why is technology

necessary? SPI: 0607.T/E 4 Differentiate between

adaptive and assistive bioengineered products (e.g., food, biofuels, medicines, integrated pest management).

IntroductionWhat does it mean to adapt?What does it mean to assist?What technology can you

think of that is helps adapt or assist people every day?

Bioengineering

What is Bioengineering? Bioengineering is the development of

technology in the fields of biology and medicine.

The work of bioengineers help people stay healthy, grow food, and make other materials they need.

Bioengineers use the science of living things to create technology and the technology to change living things.

Bioengineering and medicine Bioengineers have developed

many tools to help doctors diagnose disease. Examples: CAT scanners and

MRI machines.

Other bioengineered products help treat diseases. Examples: insulin for diabetics,

antibiotics, and medicine

Adaptive Devices Some bioengineers design devices to help

people with disabilities.

An adaptive device is a device that is changed or adapted to use by a person with a disability (permanent changes). Examples: voice activated computer, braille

keys, doorbells that flash a light, automatic doors, corrective surgery, respirator, etc.

Adaptive Device Examples

Assistive Devices An assistive device is any kind of

technology that helps a disabled person with their daily life (temporary changes, that can be removed). Examples: hearing aids, artificial limbs,

crutches, wheelchairs, glasses, contact lenses, etc.

Assistive Devices Examples

Quick Check #1

Quick Check #2

Quick Check #3

Quick Check #4

Activity Think about adaptive and assistive

devices. Do any have unintended consequences that need to be improved?

Activity Directions Design a device that would help

someone with a disability. Illustrate your device, labeling its special features. At the bottom, identify whether your device would be considered adaptive or assistive. Explain the intended benefits of te device. How would it help someone with a disability? Does it have any unintended consequences?

Example

Explanation Many people are unable to walk. While

wheelchairs help them get around, they are continuously sitting down. I have an assistive device that allows individuals to move while sitting or standing. The benefit of my device is that it increases blood flow to the legs and allows the user to change positions. An unintended consequence it may cause it that the person may fall if not strapped in properly.

Did I?Draw a device?Label the parts and functions?Explain if it was adaptive or

assistive?Explain its intended benefits and

any unintended consequences?

Do Now: Thursday 8.27

Key Information Objective: I can identify the steps in the

engineering design process. Essential Question: Why is it important

to follow a routine? SPI: 0607.T/E 2 Evaluate a protocol to

determine if the engineering design process was successfully applied.

Introduction What do engineers do? In what ways are you similar to an

engineer? How do think we are going to use the

engineering design process? Do you think the Engineering Design

Process is similar to the Scientific Method?

Prezi During this Prezi presentation, make

sure you are completing your guided notes.

Be ready to identify the steps of the Engineering Design Process.

Engineering Design Process

Yesterday we learned that technology was defined as the application of science to make useful products and tools.

How do scientists and engineers create these new products?

They use the engineering design process.

Number your notes 1-7. As we go through this presentation, write down each step of the design process.

Step 1: Identify the Problem The first step in the engineering design

process is IDENTIFYING THE PROBLEM.

While automobiles were intended to speed up transportation, they also cause many problems.

What is one problem of the automobile?

Step 2: Research After the problem has been identified,

background RESEARCH must be conducted.

Research can provide current solutions to the problem and help explore other options.

When scientists realized how many injuries were being caused by car accidents, what do you think they researched?

Step 3: BrainstormUse the background research to

BRAINSTORM possible solutions. Take notes, sketch ideas, and select the best

possible solution.

Quick Check: Noah and Jackson realized that many people

do not wear their seatbelt. They think they should design a product that will encourage passengers to wear their seatbelt. What step should they complete after they have identified the problem?

Step 4: Build a Prototype Use available resources and

materials to CONSTRUCT a working prototype.

Step 5: Test and Evaluate TEST the design to see if it meets the needs of the

problem.

Collect data using the prototype.

EVALUATE the data and the design to determine if it solved the problem.

When evaluating, identify the benefits and risks, of the design.

If the prototype does not solve the problem, what should scientists do?

Step 6: Modify and Retest If the prototype does not solve the

problem, MODIFY it.

Ask: What worked with the original prototype and what could work better?

Make the necessary changes, RETEST, and re-evaluate new data.

STEP 7: Share Results

SHARE the solution with others.

Scientists, government agencies, and citizens must decide if the benefits of the solution outweigh the risks.

If the benefits outweigh the risks, they could make it available to consumers.

What would happen if the risks outweigh the benefits?

Quick Check:Which series states the correct order of steps that would ensure that the engineering design process were successfully followed? A  perform testing, build a model, retest, evaluate results, modify model B  modify model, perform testing, retest, evaluate results, build a model C  build a model, perform testing, evaluate results, modify model, retest D  retest, build a model, modify model, perform testing, evaluate results

Quick Check:Which of these steps is most important to complete before you build a model?

A Test.B Retest.C Evaluate results.D Decide what the model is going to accomplish.

Describing Paper What are some adjectives that describes

this piece of paper? Is it strong?

Let’s see if we can change those adjectives.

Now that you have described this paper, you are going to build a paper structure that can hold your Science book.

Building with paper Objective: You will make a simple, but

strong structure out of paper. Your structure must be able hold up your Science book.

Time: 10 minutes Materials: tape, table, floor, Science

book, and 8 pieces of paper

Group Roles You will work with your letter group. Roles:

1. Sketcher (sketches the design of the tower)

2. Recorder (records all information and final design)

3. Cleaner/time keeper (makes sure the team’s area is clean at the end of the activity and watches the time).

4. Manager (makes sure everyone is on task and working as a team)

Final Thoughts [exit ticket]Was your structure strong enough

to hold your book?What would you do differently

next time?Sketch the example of what you

would do differently.

Do Now: Friday 8.27

Key Information Objective: I can apply the steps of the

engineering design process. Essential Question: Why is it important

to think about something before you do it?

SPI: 0607.T/E 2 Evaluate a protocol to determine if the engineering design process was successfully applied.

IntroductionWhat is the first step of the

Engineering Design process?What is the last step of the

Engineering Design process?What step do you have to

complete BEFORE building a prototype?

Build the tallest tower Time allowed: 25 minutes Objective: to construct a tower as high

as possible using spaghetti and marshmallows. Limited supplies of materials are available. Pieces of spaghetti can be broken into desired lengths.

Rules 1. only the materials provided may be used.

The highest tower at the end of the period will be the winner.

2. the judge’s decision in all matters is final! 3. you have to work as a team of engineers

and come to an agreement on how to build the tower.

4. follow the engineering design steps to build the tallest tower.

Group Roles You will work with your letter group. Roles:

1. Manager (makes sure everyone is on task and working as a team).

2. Cleaner/time keeper (makes sure the team’s area is clean at the end of the activity and watches the time).
