Big Ideas
- Design problems can be solved by defining needs and wants, establishing clear criteria, and considering constraints such as materials, time, or cost.
- Testing and evaluating multiple solutions is essential to improve a design and achieve the best possible outcome.
Essential Questions
- What is a design problem and how do you identify its criteria and constraints?
- Why is it important to generate more than one solution to a design problem?
- How do you determine if a solution meets the criteria and constraints of a problem?
- Why are fair tests with controlled variables important in evaluating models or prototypes?
- How can analyzing failure points improve future designs?
