Big Ideas
- Engineers solve problems by asking questions, making observations, and gathering information to understand the need for new or improved objects or tools.
- Objects are designed with a specific shape to help them function, and their effectiveness can be evaluated by testing and comparing their performance.
Essential Questions
- How do engineers define problems that need to be solved?
- Why is it important to observe and ask questions before designing a new object or tool?
- How does the shape of an object help it work as needed?
- What can we learn by testing different objects designed to solve the same problem?
- How do you decide which solution works best for a problem?
