Explain the difference between Engineering and Science. How are they related?
What is the Engineering Design Process? What are the steps?
Demonstrate your understanding of Criteria, Constraints, and the Engineering Design Process by passing a Knowledge Check.
Prepare and successfully complete your Lab Safety Test.

Quick Review: What is the difference between an Observation and Inference?

Look at the picture below. In your notebook, make a short list of all of your observations. Next, make a list of your inferences.

Task 1: Reviewing Criteria, Constraints, Engineering, and Science

Complete the following pages in your notebook using the resources below and the vocabulary list at the bottom of the page.

If these pages are complete on Wednesday, you may use them on your first quiz!

Engineering Design Study Guide (Science Notebook p. 11)
Criteria & Constraints (p. 12-13)
- Criteria and Constraints PowerPoint
Engineering Design Process (p. 14)
- Use this LINK to watch the video
- Engineering Design Process PowerPoint
Science & Engineering Venn Diagram (p. 15)
- You may use the internet to help with your diagram

Introducing Lab Safety

Watch the video below:

A) Review Lab Safety

Read, sign, and date Davis School District Lab Safety Contract (p. 9-10 in Science Notebook)
Review the Lab Safety Presentation
Take the Lab Safety Practice Test

B) Zombie College Lab Safety

Once you have finished the game, show the substitute your Certificate of Completion

C) Review your answers on the Lab Safety Practice Test

Make sure your answers are correct - you may use this to complete your real test on Wednesday

Keywords: Engineering Design

Criteria - The "purpose" of your project. What is your design supposed to do if it is successful?
Constraints - The "rules" you must follow. Examples: budget, size restrictions, time limits, etc.
Observation - gathering information using your senses.
Inference - creating an explanation based upon your observations.
Science - Studying the physical and natural world through observation, experimentation, and the testing of theories.
Engineering - The branch of science and technology concerned with the design, building, and use of engines, machines, and structures.
Engineering Design Process - A series of steps that engineers use to solve problems and develop solutions.
- Define the problem
- Identify the criteria and constraints
- Brainstorm possible solutions
- Select the best idea
- Prototype (build a model) your solution
- Test your prototype (model)
- Improve your prototype
- Communicate your solution
