DESIGN ACTION PLAN:

Explain how will you design your product in paragraph form. 

Complete the Collaboration Plan (Milestones). Then attach 

three-view orthographic drawing of your design.

Build and test a prototype (Analysis) :

Make adjustments to a particular variable/ component of the product and 

test with several trials while other variables remain fixed. Then explain the 

pattern from the measured data collected and the observed pattern. Lastly, 

write conjectures (rule) in words for the patterns you observed. Include line 

graphs by attaching your work. (This will help you to make predictions when 

adjusting that variable/component.)

Present results:

Summarize your process and explain how you came to the final design of your product.




















 

Reflection:

What did you learn about the Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and/ or 

Mathematics (STEAM)? Explain with precise details. Explain what you would do 

differently to be more effective and efficient in the engineering process.
