What is a solution?

• The answer to a problem or opportunity

• A working model used to test a design concept by making observations and necessary adjustments

• A brace that corrects alignment or provides support to correct a disorder of the limbs or spine

• A neuromuscular condition in which muscles on one side of the body are in a constant state of contraction

• A condition that affects body movement and coordination caused by brain injury or brain malformation that occurs before, during, or immediately after birth when an infant's brain is still developing

What is a model?

• The answer to a problem or opportunity

• An accurate representation of an object or phenomenon that can be visual, physical, mathematical, or computational and are often used in the development of scientific theories or the creation of artifacts.

How are norms different from rules?

• They are the same thing.

• The teacher creates norms and students create rules.

• Students create norms and the teacher creates rules.

• Norms do not have consequences.

What is collaboration?

• Working by yourself

• Working together on a common purpose

• Working together on different assignments

What are guidelines that are developed by a team regarding how they are to interact, communicate, and conduct themselves as part of the team called?

• laws

• rules

• norms

• policies

What is the primary cause of cerebral palsy?

• Genetic mutations

• Brain injury or malformation during development

• Viral infections

• Vitamin deficiency

How does spastic hemiplegia typically affect the body?

• It affects both sides of the body equally

• It causes muscle weakness on one side of the body

• It leads to complete paralysis

• It only affects the lower limbs
