Submission Required
Students turn their selected criteria and constraints into a short engineering test plan for one closed-loop system, such as water filtration/recycling or solar power capture. Using a simple template, they identify the variable to test, the materials, the measurement to record, and what result would count as success for the colony. They set up a data table with at least two trials so later revisions can be compared fairly.
