IMPROVING FISKAR SHEARS

Design & Engineering is a class that allows us to get a glimpse of everything around us and see the progress and growth of our creations, we discuss simple machines, forces, motion and acceleration to begin to looking at the world in a new light. This unit, we are brainstorming and developing ideas of empathy while putting ourselves in other peoples shoes. And throughout the rest of the course, we are going to be learning about Geometry, Trigonometry and Pre-Calculus, to find a purpose and visualize the world around us.

There will be 2 Action Projects in this unit, they will be finalized on our Digital Portfolio. This slideshow below, is one of our Action Projects where we had a mission to compile data and physics concepts to sketch an easier gardening tool for senior citizens. We were to use a storyboard of how it is used, explain its development process and present our final results to a panel or representatives and experts.
