Design, Build, and Test a Prototype of the Cold Pack
In this task, you'll design and build a prototype of the cold pack. The cold pack will allow the user to start a chemical reaction that absorbs
energy. The reaction involves mixing powders from two compartments with water.
 Estimated time to complete: 2 hours
 You will need these materials:
safety goggles

1 toilet paper tube or a small rectangular box (depends on cold pack compartment shape from Task 2)

scrap cardboard of different thicknesses, such as cereal boxes, tagboard, and shipping boxes

scrap paper

scissors

glue

tape

thread or string

paper clips

plastic produce bag or similar

½-cup measuring cup

1-teaspoon measuring spoon

4 teaspoons baking soda

water

Note: You may not use all of the materials, and you may need to gather more materials when you build your prototype.
 Stay safe! Always wear your safety goggles. Be careful while handling sharp objects.
 
 
 
Part A- identify a problem the cold pack must adress
Part B-Criteria are the specific goals of the design. List at least two criteria for the design based on the question, What do you want it to
do? Keep in mind the design of the cup and what you learned from observing the endothermic chemical reaction.
Part C-Constraints are the limits that we place on a design. Time, materials, or money may be in short supply. Some designs may also be
limited by how the product gets used. List at least one constraint on the cold pack design.
Part D-Brainstorm ideas about how to separate the three reactants in the cold pack. Draw your ideas and use text boxes to explain them.
Recall the materials list and the layout of your cup from task 2 to help you.
Part E-Create drawings of two fully worked-out ideas for mixing the reactants in the cold pack. Use text boxes to explain your ideas.
Part F-What are the pros and cons of each idea that you explored in part E? How do the ideas compare?
Part G-Select one of your cold pack mixing mechanisms, and use items from the materials list to build a prototype. The prototype doesn't
have to be true to size, but the mechanism for combining the reactants must work. You'll test the prototype later, so make sure to line the
compartment that holds the water with a plastic bag. Describe what you did.
Part H-
Test your prototype. Pour ½ cup of water into the compartment that holds the water. Add 2 teaspoons of baking soda to each of the
compartments that hold the solid reactants. Test your mechanism for combining the reactants. Did the prototype work? Record the results
of your test here. (Note that a chemical reaction will not take place because citric acid isn't used.)
Part I-Based on the prototype, refine your design and make a final drawing. Explain what was changed.

This assignment is a design problem. It asks the student to plan out the process of designing a material, a cold pack. 
 
Part A Identify the problem that the cold pack will address
A cold pack is a cold compression device that can be used to reduce inflammation by placing it over an inflamed body part, such as a
twisted ankle. Through endothermic reaction, the cold pack absorbs heat from the surroundings. 

In this design process, determine what will be the use of your cold pack: is it for twisted ankle, sore back, pained knee. 

By choosing its intended purpose/ use, you can now draw the dimensions of this product in a software or paper. 

Part B Design goals/criteria

Now that you have identified its purpose, you can now also identify how effective or desirable it can be.

Design criteria can be: size, shape, weight, or ease of use/ convenience over an alternative, effectiveness in reducing inflammation,
and other features that you want it to have.

Part C Design constraints

This part is about feasibility, or drawing the limits of the canvas of your work. Be honest about your limitations, such as cost of
production, availability of materials or industry to manufacture your desired materials, time frame for the project or time you can
devote to making this project. 

Constraints are there to ground us on what is feasible to accomplish.

Part D Brainstorm
Generate ideas with your teammates. Share and gather information from all persons involved. Study how others did it before and
learn from their experiences. 

Part E Sketch
Make your ideas tangible. Sketch your thoughts, do mind mapping or concept mapping to illustrate your ideas and gather feedback
from one another.

This part is the closest you have been to production.

Part F Pros and Cons

As mentioned earlier, after you have illustrated your ideas, gather feedback. 

Be open to criticism. Use the Six Thinking Hats on this part.

Part G Prototype
Once you have agreed on your ideas, build it with the materials you have identified. Record your costs incurred, time allotted, and
effort contributed to the prototype. This will allow you to have some means of assessing if its sustainable, if you will make more.

Part H Testing
Testing your prototype means trying it on. Use it to its intended purpose and see its effect. Measure factors that are measurable such
as temperature.

Invite others who are not part of the project to test it and give their feedback.

Record your observations, feedback received, and use them to improve your cold pack.

Good luck! I hope this was helpful.
