Deeper Learning Competencies	Content Expertise	I can use what I know about how things work and scarcity to make a plan and start building something new with my group I look at how well our project solves the problem and make changes when I need to, using ideas from my classmates and teachers to make it better.	I can show my understanding of scarcity by creating a simple prototype with my team using the materials we have I can explain how my design helps our community and describe some features of my prototype that address the problem we are solving.	I can demonstrate my knowledge of scarcity by using what I know to design and build a working prototype with my friends My prototype shows how scarcity affects us and solves a problem that is important to our community.	I can create a working model that shows how scarce resources affect my community, using what I've learned about scarcity I confidently explain how my group worked together to solve the problem, and I ask for feedback from adults to make our design even better.
Deeper Learning Competencies	Self Directed Learning	I can show I am learning on my own by trying out my ideas with different materials and asking questions when I need help I pay close attention to the feedback from my friends and teachers and use their advice to make my prototype better I look carefully at my work and think about what I did well and what I can make even better.	I can listen to my teacher and friends and use their feedback to make my prototype better I can think about what I learned and make choices about how to improve my design.	I can use feedback from my teacher and classmates to think about what I've done well and what I can make better in my project I always try different ways to improve my work and understand my learning better.	I can use feedback from teachers and friends to improve my project and make my prototype better I can think of new ideas to solve problems and work on them by myself, asking for help when I need it I feel proud to keep trying, even when things are difficult, and I can explain what I learned during the project.
