BEANSS PROJECT
Ms. Williams 5th Grade
Introduction, Goals, and Research
Stage One
Research Journal-Stage One
What do I need to include in my research? Sources used (where did you find your
information) Did you answer the research question
prompts? Were you and your partner able to come up
with goals for your project bases on the research?
How much research do I need? You should have AT LEAST 2-3 pages of
research notes!
What should my research look like? Diagrams of different security system
components
Notes on how security systems work
Diagrams of different circuits (parallel, series)
Notes on how circuits work…what kind of circuit should you use? How does it function? What parts do you need (battery, wire, bulb,…)
Example of Research This is a series circuit. It has one constant flow of electricity. The flow of electricity is called a current. To build this circuit I need at least one light bulb, wire, and a battery. I also will a switch, which needs to be made from a conductor material. The switch will allow me to turn the light bulb off.
It looks like security systems use a parallel circuit, so this type of circuit may not be best, but it’s still an option.
Research: Cost Analysis
How much do my materials cost? (look at your materials list on the packet)
How much will it cost too make one system/circuit?
How much should I charge the customer to make a profit?
Cost Analysis
Materials Price
Wire (__8__ in.) $1
camera $50
Light Bulb $2
Battery $1
Total Cost for System
Customer Price Company Profit
$54 $100 $46
Design, Create, Make it Better!
Stage Two—Building Circuits
Stage Two
STEM design plan
Complete the entire STEM design plan packet—make sure to include sketches and drawing!
Build your circuit and make it better!
Stage Three—Schematics
Drawing Your Schematic
Include the correct key for drawing each component of your circuit
Draw an exact schematic of your circuit
Schematic Key: Example on next slide
Schematic Key
Putting it all together!
Stage Four—Presentation
Stage Four
Now you are ready to create your presentation to the client!
You will need to design a poster for your presentation. Your poster should include your: Introduction and goals Parts of your system Cost analysis and cost for the client Schematic of your working component
Stage Four: Example Poster
BEANSS SECURITY SYSTEMS
Introduction and Goals:
(introduce yourselves and the company)
What will your system accomplish?
System Overview: My system includes:
-camera-keypad-window sensors
System Schematic
Cost Analysis:
Total Cost: $Customer Cost: $Company Profit: $
Questions?
When is the project due? The Tuesday after Spring Break, 4-13-15
Can my poster be any color? Yes
Does my poster need to look exactly like the example? No, but you do need to include all the parts of
the example poster
