  1. SPI 0807.T/E.1 (Prototype Testing) Notes Science Tennessee SPI Objective: Identify the tools and procedures needed to test the design features of a prototype. Essential Question 1) What are the ideal tools and testing methods for testing a given prototype? Check for Understanding Students will design a simple prototype and test it using common scientific tools such as meter sticks, scales, triple-beam balances, stopwatches, etc.

  2. SPI 0807.T/E.1 (Prototype Testing) Science Notes Steps 4 and 5 are the steps of the EDP where we test our prototypes SPI 0807.T/E.1 Identify the tools and procedures needed to test the design features of a prototype (1) (5) (2) (3) (4)

  3. SPI 0807.T/E.1 (Prototype Testing) Notes Science Engineering Design Process-Prototype Testing • The 4th EDP step is testing your prototype • Often, prototypes do not work very well at first • Testing a prototype can be dangerous (see picture below) • By testing the prototype, the designers identify problems • They fix the problems and then test it again. They repeat this over & over. (This is step 5 of the eng design process.) Picture of Orville and Wilbur Wright testing their prototype airplane

  4. SPI 0807.T/E.1 (Prototype Testing) Notes Science Tools and procedures used in prototype testing Procedures & tools for prototype testing depend on the type of technology and the purpose for that technology. For Example: You would not test a new cell phone the same way you would test a new jet airplane or a new football helmet. Discuss These Questions: A) How would you test a prototype of a new type of eyeglasses? B) How would you test a new type of headache medicine? C) How would you test a new type of camping tent?

  5. Prototype Testing in the Movies -From the movie "Batman Begins” Story Summary: Billionaire Bruce Wayne's parents are murdered by a criminal when he is a boy. So he vows to fight crime when he grows up. He has no superpowers, so he instead uses his brains, his martial arts skills, and technology to fight crime. Who are you? I’m Batman

  6. Prototype Testing in the Movies -From the movie "Batman Begins” In this scene Mr. Fox is showing Mr. Wayne a prototype of a special material called "memory cloth." Bruce Wayne Lucius Fox Bruce later uses this cloth to glide through the air.

  7. Prototype Testing in the Movies -From the movie "Batman Begins” In this scene Mr. Fox is showing Mr. Wayne a prototype of a special vehicle called "the Tumbler." Bruce later uses it as his "Batmobile" vehicle. How do you like it? Does it come in black?

  8. Prototype Testing in the Movies -From the movie "Batman Begins” • In this scene Alfred is testing the prototype of Batman's mask by hitting it with a baseball bat. • It fails the test, so they must modify it and re-test it. STEP 4: Test and Evaluate STEP 5: Modify and Retest

  9. Prototype Testing in the Movies -From the movie "Batman Begins” STEP 4: Test and Evaluate In this scene Bruce is making and then testing one of his bat-shaped throwing "stars" STEP 3: Make A Prototype

  10. Prototype Testing in the Movies -The Ironman movies and the Spiderman movies both show prototype testing

  11. Prototype Testing in the Movies -From the movie “The Amazing Spiderman” In this scene Peter Parker is making and testing his "web shooters." EDP Step 4: Test the prototype EDP Step 3: Make the prototype

  12. Prototype Testing in the Movies -From the movie “The Amazing Spiderman” Watch Video Clip -See Peter Parker (A.K.A. Spiderman) test his webshooter prototype in his "lab" and "in the field." Link (1 min 21 sec): Spiderman video Clip

  13. Prototype Testing in the Movies -From the movie “Ironman” Watch Video Clips 1) Tony Stark tests his mark 2 prototype Link: Mark 2-Hover Test 2) Tony again tests his mark 2 prototype Link: Mark 2-Full Flight Test
