Make and use simple equipment and tools to gather data and extend the senses. Recognize a fair test. The Design Process Identify a need or problem to be solved. Document the design throughout the entire design process. Brainstorm potential solutions. Select a solution to the need or problem. Select the materials to develop a solution. Create the solution. Evaluate and test how well the solution meets the goal. Communicate the solution with drawings or prototypes. Communicate how to improve the solution. What misconceptions might students have with these ideas? All soil is made the same way. Soil only has one use (planting). Soil only contains nonliving objects. Suggested Activities
