PLTW Design Process

Front

After building a paper airplane, you throw it and it immediately crashes. You realize that there is a major flaw in your design. What should be the next step?

Back

change the design and test it again

Front

This step in Design process includes building a testable prototype, testing it for performance/usability/durability, collecting the data, analyzing the data, and creating a test report of the findings. What is this step?

Back

construct and test a prototype
