- Brainstorm Solutions
- Select a solution
- Build a prototype
- Test and evaluate
- Redesign to improve
- Communicate Results
Protoype
Test model of a product
Simple Technology
No electrical energy
Cheap
Easy to use and understand
Complex Technology
Use electrical energy
Expensive
Can be easy or hard to use, but cannot tell how intricate it really is
Creativity
Leads to a new way of doing things more efficient or more enjoyable that improve quality of life
Methodically
Thinking in an organized way and paying close attention to detail
Using and understand science math and technology
Technology helps engineers organize and design, and plan complex ideas. Math allows them to develop a design that will withstand forces. And science helps us understand those forces and create technology
Chemical Reactions
Change in color, formation of a precipitate, gas, temperature change, light, or odor
