Next Generation Science Standards*:
- MS-ETS1-1: Define a simple problem that can be solved through the development of a new or improved object or tool.
- MS-ETS1-2: Evaluate competing design solutions based on jointly determined criteria and trade-offs about how well they meet the requirements of a problem.
- MS-ETS1-3: Analyze data from tests of two objects designed to solve the same problem to compare the strengths and weaknesses of how each performs.
- MS-ETS1-4: Develop a model to illustrate the relationships between the structure and function of an object or tool in a design solution.
- HS-ETS1-2: Design and evaluate a solution to a complex real-world problem, considering multiple criteria and constraints.
- HS-ETS1-3: Optimize a solution to a problem by evaluating its trade-offs.
