Week 2 Tuesday
Challenge: extra credit for extra parts?
Instructions: Last week you tried to understand a tape recorder by considering the components and subcomponents that operate inside it. Today you will demonstrate your understanding of the machine by re-assembling it from those components..."what I cannot create, I do not understand." and all that...Take a careful look at your parts list and your notes from last time. The team that can reassemble their tape recorder from the greatest number of parts will win this challenge. You have 1/2 an hour to work on this task.
At the end of the 1/2 hour we will spend some time tallying the successes of the groups and discussing the exercise in terms of scientific vs engineering efforts.
Before you leave today: Spend 5 minutes to complete your response journal entry. In your response, you should note:
- what the activity was
- why you think it might have been included in this class
- if the activity helped you think about:
- how can biology be made easier to engineer?
- what are the consequences of success?
- what clever ways has nature found to solve physical challenges?
- in what ways does nature innovate?
- if the activity has given you any new tools/considerations that could be useful for your project.
Upload these responses to homework dropbox using the "lecture response journal" tab found here
For next time
Look again at the Adventures in SB as well as the original storyboard that's here. This storyboard was sketched on regular paper by Drew as he was flying from one place to another. You should give some thought to the two chapter script you're working on and think about ways to sketch a storyboard from it. This will prepare you for work in the studio tomorrow. Please print out your script to bring to the studio tomorrow as well as upload the script to your personal design portfolio that's here.
Week 2 Studio
Part 1: WHAP! BAM! Gadzooks!
Begin today by reading the following script and looking at the associated storyboards that are here. Next, think about how to storyboard your script. You do not need any fancy animation tools and there's no extra credit for finishing first or for fancy images. Ideally you'll use no more than 4 sheets of paper to fully sketch your script. Please be sure your name is on all the pieces of paper. You have up to an hour to complete your sketches.
When you have completed your sketches, find a place on the wall to hang your work, and then spend 1/2 an hour walking around the room checking out what others have done.
Part 2: Cost of doing business
In the second part of today's studio, you should consider one of these three articles:
Spend 10 minutes reading them and 10 minutes thinking about these questions.
