Critical Thinking & Problem Solving Content Expertise Self Directed Learning MS-ETS1-1 MS-ESS2-4 MS-ESS3-4 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.
