With a THOUGHTFUL AND DELIBERATE mix of images/bulleted lists/complete thoughts create a useful study guide for the exam next year.
This does NOT mean just slap 1,000,000 words on the page and call it a day. Instead I want you to design something to help you study for the IB DT exam in May 2023.
Make sure you EVERYTHING in the Concepts and Principles and Guidance (that's the middle column)!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thus concludes our examination of materials commonly used in design. Next we are on to MANUFACTURING!

CLASS ACTIVITIES
Quick word about the OnShape exams
Read this article -- what topic does it link to? Has anyone ever ridden this thing (apparently it was around until 2017)?
What type of plastic might you use to make each product? Provide a brief justification based on the properties of the plastic (some of these have more that one right answer and this goes IN YOUR NOTEBOOK!).
Desk Seat
Reusable water bottle
Computer casing
Grocery bag
Pen
ID case on your lanyard
Headphones
HOMEWORK
Another OnShape Assignment
Create an interesting 3D shape that has the following characteristics:
is at least two parts
has a least one convex side (that's a outward curved surface)
Has at least one concave side (that's an inward curved surface)
It must be more than a simple shape -- you need to create something with at least a bit of complexity...
Dimensions
10X8X6
Codega will check the technical drawing page
with dimensions
as many views as necessary to show that you created this shape
One 3D view
3/4 & 3/9
CORE TOPICS
4 -- Raw Materials to final product
4.2
4.2B -- Plastics
ESSENTIAL IDEA
Materials are selected for manufacturing products based primarily on their properties.
Materials are classified into six basic groups based on their different properties
CLASS ACTIVITIES
Read this article and create a chart that lists the numbers / name for each type of plastic AND the uses for each type:
In pairs, you will be responsible for identifying each of the samples based on the description on the websites above in addition to the small piece of sandpaper for each person.
You will be given no more than 5 minutes per station.
Afterwards, we will debrief your findings.
(IF TIME) We will discuss key characteristics of each and then individually you will figure out what applications these materials would be ideal for.
What material(s) would be best for?
2/24 & 2/25

2.6 -- Eco Design
ESSENTIAL IDEA
Resource management and sustainable production carefully consider three key issues—consumption of raw materials, consumption of energy, and production of waste—in relation to managing resources and reserves effectively and making production more sustainable.
CLASS ACTIVITIES
Due to the Friday 1/2 day
1/28 & 1/30
CORE TOPICS
2 -- Resource management and sustainable production
2.5 -- Green Design
2.6 -- Eco Design
ESSENTIAL IDEA
Resource management and sustainable production carefully consider three key issues—consumption of raw materials, consumption of energy, and production of waste—in relation to managing resources and reserves effectively and making production more sustainable.
CLASS ACTIVITIES
Take a few more notes -- this time on 2.5 and 2.6!
Time to talk about the Recycled Regatta!
We will have a series of boat races to determine who is can make the fastest boat in Design Tech
It MUST be made out of trash that YOU harvest from around school or your home
Specifications:
Function – boat must be able to travel 10 feet along a shallow body of water.
1.b -- Freestanding and the ability to remain upright throughout the entire race (10 ft.)
1.c – MUST BE WIND POWERED!
Standing width – between 3.5 – 4.25 inches wide -- IT MUST FIT WITHIN THE GUTTER!
Standing height & length – no taller than 12 inches and no longer than 6 inches.
Standing depth – no deeper than two inches (below the water -- the course will be pretty shallow).
Materials – ability to float and waterproof.
Must look like a boat!
Green Design – MUST be made from trash/items soon to be trash.
In the meantime you need to start researching what makes a sail boat work
How should the hull be shaped? What is an effective sail design?
YOU NEED TO BASE YOUR DESIGN ON ACTUAL SCIENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You also have to make a CAD drawing of your design
2 -- Resource management and sustainable production
2.4 -- Clean Technology
ESSENTIAL IDEA
Resource management and sustainable production carefully consider three key issues—consumption of raw materials, consumption of energy, and production of waste—in relation to managing resources and reserves effectively and making production more sustainable.
CLASS ACTIVITIES
Some (not so) quick notes on Clean Technology & Green Design
In here you will be assigned a piece of international legislation that you will briefly research and create a poster outlining its major provisions.
Kyoto Protocols
Paris Agreement (2015)
Copenhagen Accords
Cancun Agreements
Durban Platform
Date
Major details (what it outlawed/aimed to reduce/etc.)
Notable participant countries and notable NON participant countries
Be sure to include if this is a radical or incremental piece of legislation W/ an example
An Image that you feel captures the essence of your legislation!
Start to research sailboat design
What makes a sailboat fast?
hull shape?
sail shape?
what else?

CORE TOPICS
2 -- Resource management and sustainable production
2.2 -- Waste Mitigation Strategies
2.3 -- Energy utilization, Storage, and Distribution
ESSENTIAL IDEA
Resource management and sustainable production carefully consider three key issues—consumption of raw materials, consumption of energy, and production of waste—in relation to managing resources and reserves effectively and making production more sustainable.
Working in pairs you will create a PPT slide about a subtopic from the packet. You need to read your section (and maybe a bit of what comes before it), talk about it and then create a PPT slide that summarizes the main ideas IN YOUR OWN WORDS.
The Topics:
Methodologies for Waste Reduction and designing out waste
Dematerialization and Product Recovery Strategies
The Circular Economy
Embodied Energy
Distributing Energy - The Grid system and Systems for Individual energy generation
Quantifications and mitigation of Carbon Emissions
Batteries, Capacitors, etc.
B-DAY ASSIGNMENTS -- you are doing these solo (NOT WORKING TOGETHER) and sending them to me by 3:30 will count as your attendance for the day. Two people will be doing the same topic but again, you are working ALONE!
Methodologies for Waste Reduction and designing out waste - Anna Grace / Susanna / Snell
Dematerialization and Product Recovery Strategies -- Annie / Isiah
The Circular Economy -- Twine / Ann R / Nakayla
Embodied Energy -- Jules / Mac
Distributing Energy - The Grid system and Systems for Individual energy generation -- Franklin / Gracie
Quantifications and mitigation of Carbon Emissions -- Lilly / Mateo
Batteries, Capacitors, etc. -- Anne Katherine / Colin
Your PPT slide must include the following:
The main info in your own words
A picture that relates to your topic
A max of 2 slides.
You have to quickly present it.
Since B-Day won't meet we'll just push off presentations to Monday / Tuesday
1/18 & 1/19 -- Welcome to the 3rd 9 Weeks! It's all downhill from here...
CORE TOPICS
2 -- Resource management and sustainable production
2.1 -- Resources and Reserves
ESSENTIAL IDEA
Resource management and sustainable production carefully consider three key issues -- consumption of raw materials, consumption of energy, and production of waste -- in relation to managing resources and reserves effectively and making production more sustainable.
CLASS ACTIVITIES
Today we intro the topic or resources and sustainable production -- why is this a key factor for Design Tech?
Renewable vs. Nonrenewable resources individual work
In your notebook:
Define each term
Find five examples of each type of resource (NOT only energy!)
Renewable vs. nonrenewable resources activity (on the smartboard)
Quick notes on renewability and resource reserves
Find an example of a design that provided an innovative solution to meet basic human needs for energy, food and raw materials with renewable resources. Be ready to share with the class.
Basic vocabulary activity -- Individual work to be completed in your notebook:
