Students are asked to conduct two investigations. The first investigation uses scientific practices to find out how birds glide in the air. The second investigation uses engineering practices to design a plane that would glide easily in the air. Select the practices that would only be used in the second investigation. Choose all that apply.

a)

Use a model to make a prediction.

b)

Use a model to test a solution to a problem.

c)

Ask questions and seek answers in a systematic way.

d)

Define a problem and look for a solution in a systematic way.

e)

Clearly define a need and the criteria or constraints for the solution.

11.

A student creates a terrarium for a science project. It demonstrates the water cycle within a closed system. The model includes soil and a plant misted with water within a closed, transparent container. Is the water cycle model of the terrarium is a designed or natural system.

a)

Designed system because it models a natural system but was made by a person.

b)

Natural system because it is a system that occurs in nature without a human creating it.
