The Engineering Design process
01
Ask
- What problem are you trying to solve?
- What are the limitations?
What Problem Are You Trying to Solve?
The problem I am trying to solve for my catapult project is ensuring that the catapult can hit a certain distance. I figured out how far it could go based on the time and effort I put into my DIY catapult. I have done some tests so far. After putting in the marble for the catapult, I noticed that it travels at a certain distance. That's why if the catapult successfully throws the marble, you know it was successfully made.
What Are The Limitations??
The limitations I have for. My project is space and material because the space I have can limit the size or the power of my catapult making me not be able to test it At a maximum distance.and the strength of the material might also limit some movements
02
Imagine
● Brainstorm Ideas ● Choose the best one
Brainstorm outcome (what your peers/teacher say about the ideas?)
My parents think my ideas were innovative, although there were a couple errors done the catapult was successfully made
My idea
My idea is to create a catapult that is kind of similar to the ones in real life after researching I find 3 types of catapults so far but I was only interested in one, I looked at the tutorial on how to build it, it took some struggles but so far I think it was worth the effort.
Why do you think this idea will. Work?
I personally think this idea will work because I tested it using a marble and a coin , as it launched it travels far
Steps
How I Tested my Model (Write or Post Pictures or both!)
i tested my model by putting things like marble/coin inside the cap and used my finger to release the stick that would soon movee and, above all, the reason why your idea is interesting
Materials
1. Wooden stick2.rubber Bands 3.Hot glue(if necessary) 4.bottle cap 5. Marble
These are the areas that need improvement
