Engineering Design
Broad Concept: Engineering design requires creative thinking and strategies to solve practical problems generated by needs and wants.
| 2.1 | Identify a problem that reflects the need for shelter, storage, or convenience. |
| 2.2 | Describe different ways in which a problem can be represented, e.g., sketches, diagrams, graphic organizers, and lists. |
| 2.3 | Identify relevant design features (e.g., size, shape, weight) for building a prototype of a solution to a given problem. |
| 2.4 | Compare natural systems with mechanical systems that are designed to serve similar purposes, e.g., a bird's wings as compared to an airplane's wings. |
