Engineering Design Process Review 3

Mason and Sophia were on a mission to create the ultimate play dough! Mason suggested mixing flour and water, while Sophia thought adding salt to the mix would make it even better. They brainstormed more exciting ideas together. Which step of the Engineering Design Process were they working on?

• ASK - Define the problem

• IMAGINE - Research for background information/ brainstorm ideas

• PLAN - Design a solution

• CREATE - Build your design

• TEST- Test and Analyze your design

Imagine you're in a classroom with Elijah, Benjamin, and Kai, and the whiteboards are so dirty that they look like abstract art! The teacher is talking about what if they create a project where the students are to create a simple and cheap automatic whiteboard cleaning solution. The teacher discussed the criteria and the constraints for the project. What step are they in the Engineering Design Process?

• ASK - Define the problem
