ILLINOIS ACADEMIC STANDARDS / SCIENCE 11B Know and apply the concepts, principles and processes of technological design 11B.4a Identify a technological design problem in a commonly used product. 11B.4b Propose and compare different solutions to the design problem… 11B.4c Develop working visualizations of the proposed solutions (blueprints, schematics, flowcharts, animations)
11B.4d Determine the criteria upon which the designs will be judged, identify advantages and disadvantages of the designs… 11B.4e Develop and test a prototype or simulation of the solution design… 11B.4f Evaluate the test results based on established criteria, note sources of error and recommend improvements. 11B.4g Report to an audience the relative success of the design based on the test results and criteria.
INDIANA ACADEMIC STANDARDS / SCIENCE The Nature of Science and Technology “In order for students to truly understand the nature of science and technology, they must model the process of scientific investigation through inquiries, fieldwork, lab work, etc. Through these experiences, students will practice designing investigations and experiments , making observations, and formulating theories based on evidence.”
