Design Specifications: Using 4 rolls of duct-tape and the Design Cycle, create a useful product that can help people in their environment. ======

Investigate: Completely explain the problem and its relevance to your life. The problem is that we have to make a product that is helpful to any environment of our choice. It is relevant to our lives because we are trying to make it helpful to our own environment. Critically investigate the problem and evaluate information from a variety of appropriate sources.

(requirements) We will look at the requirements and check off the requirements as we go along and see if our product matches them.

Design: Create a range of possible designs, and evaluate all of them against the design specifications (requirements). wallet-follows requirements hat-follows requirements <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">pants-Follows the requirements

<span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">Plan: <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">Create a plan that contains a number of detailed, logical steps that describes how you will use your resources and time. <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">Evaluate the plan and justify any changes to your design.

step 1
Make a sheet of duct tape fabric that is 16 inches long and seven inches wide. To make your fabric, lay a strip of duct tape sticky side up on a flat surface. Lay the next strip parallel to the first, slightly overlapping the edge. Continue until you have four strips wide. Then, place additional strips sticky side down over the existing sheet to finish your fabric.

step 2
Taking the old hat, trace six sections of the hat onto the duct tape with your pen or marker. Cut them out using your scissors.

step 3
Using small pieces of duct tape, tape the sections together on the inside to create the shape of the hat.

step 4
Lay out two strips of a different color of duct tape on your cutting board, each measuring seven inches long. Using your utility knife, cut them each in half lengthwise – you will end up with four pieces. Then cut each of those pieces in half lengthwise again so you end up with eight pieces. Take one of the long strips and lay it on top of the hat at the seams. Repeat until all the seams are covered.

step 5
Lay down your old hat on a piece of poster board and trace and cut out the brim of your duct tape hat. Cover the brim in your favorite color of duct tape and then, using small pieces of duct tape, attach the brim to the rest of the hat. Tape it on both the under and top sides of the hat. **Step 6** Repeat Two more times so all of us have a hat.

<span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">Evaluate: <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">Evaluate your product based on the design specifications, results of testing, and feedback from self and others. <span style="color: #ff0300; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">My hat turned out really cool. So i think it turned out as a good product. <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">Evaluate your performance at each stage of the design cycle and suggest improvements. <span style="color: #a40e19; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">I think i could plan and investigate a little more but i did the create step really well. <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">Completely explain how sticking to a task impacts your life and environment. <span style="color: #ec0e0e; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">Sticking too a task is one of the most important things in life.

<span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">Unit Question: <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">Why is it important to stick with it? <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">because if you always quite on everything you will be a loser hobo guy living on the streets.
