Discussion Prompts

Observing

• How did the Pantograph work when creating small copies of your design compared to the large copy? 
• How did creating individual designs help your final group design for the astronaut school?
• How did documenting your astronaut school design in the Engineering Design Process Organizer help you during this design bid?

Predicting

• The Pantograph helped the design process by making smaller copies and creating a larger copy. If you were to do a new design with modern machines, what tools might you use? How do you think they are related to the Pantograph?
• You noticed that creating your own designs and comparing helped you get new ideas and a better design. Can you think of another subject or project where this collaboration would help you solve challenges?

Collaborating

• How did working in a group help you to use the Pantograph better?
• When you had different design ideas, how did you decide which to use? What did that help you learn about working in a group?
• How would you change the design process if you did it again?
