Critical Thinking & Problem Solving Effective Communication 8.MS-LS4-4 Big Ideas Real-World Challenge Submission Required

Teams describe their goal for success and explain how they will implement their solution with a real audience (e.g., virtual session with conservation staff, in-person demonstration for fishing cooperative). Plans include step-by-step implementation actions, tools (Google Sheets model, trait cards, feedback form), specific data to collect, and roles for each team member during testing.

Student-facing instructions
Your task is to implement and test your conservation proposals using the Brook Trout SWAP model. Collaborate as a team to refine your model based on peer and facilitator feedback. Prepare a detailed data collection plan, outlining specific implementation steps and materials you will use. Each member should assume a role in the plan and familiarize themselves with the tools for efficient data gathering and interaction with community partners.
