Big Ideas
- We can use questions, observations, and information to solve everyday problems by designing new or improved objects or tools.
- Testing and analyzing different designs helps us choose the best solutions for problems.
Essential Questions
- What kinds of problems can we solve by making or improving objects or tools?
- How can asking questions and making observations help us understand a problem?
- Why does the shape of an object matter for how it works?
- How do we test and compare different solutions to a problem?
- What can we learn from the strengths and weaknesses of different designs?
