One 40-minute class period

Question:

How effective was our plan?

Materials:

• The materials on the building supply list are needed for this lesson.
• Completed work plans

Lesson Level Learning Objectives:

• MS-ETS1-4 Develop a model to generate data for iterative testing and modification of a proposed object, tool, or process such that an optimal design can be achieved.

Phenomenon:

• Final build day
• Students will purchase their materials and spend the class period working on the tasks necessary to build their prototype.

What we Figured Out: 

• Students learn the importance of writing a solid building plan and following a budget.

Questions we still have:

• Does our prototype meet all of the criteria and constraints?
• Which prototype is the most effective?
• Do we test the revised prototype in the same way as the first test?
