Obtaining, evaluating, and communicating information Materials: Engagement Asking questions (for science) and Engineering Design Process PowerPoint defining problems Exploration Engineering Design Process Overview (for engineering) Engineering Design Process Planning Guide Explanation Developing and using models Preparation: Extension For this learning experience, students will use reverse engineering to innovate solutions Planning and Evaluation to an existing problem. Students will develop and propose solutions to the problem. If carrying out students are not familiar with the engineering design process, you can use the investigations Engineering Design Process PowerPoint, Overview, and Planning to review concepts with students. Analyzing and interpreting data Students will need copies of the worksheet and access to the internet to conduct research. Using mathematics and computational thinking Facilitation of Learning Experience: Inform students that they will work in teams to evaluate existing technological solutions Constructing to reduce nonpoint source pollution from the Bay. Students will then develop a plan to explanations (for improve their assigned strategy. This is known as reverse engineering, the process of science) and analyzing the workings of a technological solution and/or strategy in detail with the designing intent to understand its function and purpose. Engineers use information gathered to solutions (for construct new and improved products and/or strategies. engineering) Assign each team an existing strategy (see below).
