Skills
- ask questions (about problems and needs) #dok2
- make observations (about situations and how people want change) #dok1
- gather information (from observations and discussions) #dok1
- define a simple problem (that can be solved with a tool or object) #dok2

Learning Targets
- I can make careful observations about a situation people want to change. #dok1
- I can gather information from my observations to describe a problem. #dok1
- I can ask questions that help define a problem needing a solution. #dok2
- I can define a simple problem that can be solved with a new or improved tool or object. #dok2
- I can develop and create a simple sketch, drawing, or model to show how an object works. #dok2
- I can analyze data from tests of two different objects. #dok3
- I can compare the strengths and weaknesses of how each object solves the same problem. #dok2
Big Ideas
- People solve problems by asking questions, making observations, and gathering information to design new or improved tools.
- Design solutions can be represented and evaluated through models, data analysis, and comparison of different approaches.
Essential Questions
- How do we figure out what problems need to be solved?
- What steps do engineers take to design solutions to problems?
- How can making observations and asking questions help us find better solutions?
- Why is it important to compare different solutions and see how well they work?
- How does the shape of an object help it work to solve a problem?
