Skills
- define (simple design problems) #dok1
- identify (needs and wants related to the problem) #dok1
- determine (criteria for success based on problem requirements) #dok2
- recognize (constraints such as materials, time, or cost) #dok1
- describe (how criteria and constraints shape possible solutions) #dok2
Learning Targets
- I can define a simple design problem by clearly stating the need or want. #dok1
- I can identify criteria for success that a solution to the problem must meet. #dok1
- I can identify constraints such as available materials, time, or cost. #dok1
- I can determine which criteria and constraints are most important when planning a solution. #dok2
- I can describe how the criteria and constraints influence the design solution. #dok2
Big Ideas
- Every design problem addresses a specific need or want and must meet certain criteria to be successful.
- All solutions to design problems are influenced and limited by constraints like materials, time, and cost.
Essential Questions
- What makes a problem a design problem?
- How can you tell the difference between a need and a want when designing a solution?
- Why are criteria for success important in solving design problems?
- How do materials, time, and cost constraints affect your design choices?
- In what ways can understanding constraints help you create a better solution?
