CSD Unit 1 Review

Which of the following is part of the "Prepare" phase of solving a problem?

• Determine the problem you are trying to solve.
• Brainstorm/Research possible solutions.
• Put your plan into action.
• Compare your results to the goals you set while defining the problem.

Which of the following is part of the "Reflect" phase of solving a problem?

• Determine the problem you are trying to solve.
• Brainstorm/Research possible solutions.
• Put your plan into action.
• Compare your results to the goals you set while defining the problem.

The work done (possibly by a computer) to turn an input into an output

• Input

• Algorithm
• Storage

Define 'input.'

• A device or component that allows information to be given to a computer
• work a device inputs
• information 
• A device that produces output

Define 'output.'

My partner and I have determined that we must design a boat out of foil that holds as many pennies as possible without sinking. What part of the problem-solving process am I working on?

• define
• prepare
• try 
• reflect

My partner and I discuss what we think will be the best way to build our boat to hold many pennies and write down what we are going to do. What part of the problem solving process are we working on?

• define
• prepare
• try 
• reflect

My partner and I build our boat and test to see how many pennies our boat will hold. What part of the problem-solving process are we working on?

• define
• prepare
• try 
• reflect

My partner and I looked at our results and determined what we could improve on our boat if we built another one. What part of the problem solving process are we working on?

• define
• prepare
• try 
• reflect
