7th Science Unit 7
|
In this unit, students will identify criteria and constraints of a problem. They will evaluate prototypes to determine how well the criteria and constraints were met.
Priority Standard
Middle School ETS1-2: Evaluate competing design solutions using a systematic process to determine how well they meet the criteria and constraints of the problem.
Supporting Standards
Middle School ETS1-3: Analyze data from tests to determine similarities and differences among several design solutions to identify the best characteristics of each that can be combined into a new solution to better meet the criteria for success.
Middle School ETS1-1: Define the criteria and constraints of a design problem with sufficient precision to ensure a successful solution, taking into account relevant scientific principles and potential impacts on people and the natural environment that may limit possible solutions.
Essential Questions
How might one develop a solution to a problem?
How does one improve a solution to a problem?
Big Ideas
The Design Cycle is a way to develop solutions for world problems.
Receiving feedback from peers and developing prototypes helps solutions meet success criteria.
