This week we had a chance to look at the data from our design challenge and see how we could make our designs better. As a class my scientists observed that some devices dropped really quickly and others dropped very slowly. They inferred that devices with less weight and some sort of parachute dropped much more slowly than devices without a parachute. Then, we had a chance to re-examine the materials and see what we could do to help our gummies land even more slowly. Part of being an engineer and a scientist is looking at data and making improvements to our prototypes. |
