• prototype

Choose the correct order for the steps of the Design Process.

• Define the Problem, Brainstorm Possible Solutions, Explore Solutions, Test and Evaluate, Generate a Solution 
• Define the Problem, Brainstorm Possible Solutions, Generate a Solution, Explore Solutions, Test and Evaluate
• Define the Problem, Brainstorm Possible Solutions, Explore Solutions, Generate a Solution, Test and Evaluate
• Explore Solutions, Define the Problem, Brainstorm Possible Solutions, Generate a Solution, Test and Evaluate

The best use of tools, machines, materials, and processes to create a solution to a problem is known as __________________.
