🧪 Runoff Fix Criteria

Critical Thinking & Problem Solving Effective Communication Collaboration PS.1.B MS-PS1-3 MS-PS1-3 MS-ESS3-3 MS-ESS3-3 Submission Required

Students analyze strong stormwater solution examples and a teacher-modeled sample proposal to identify quality criteria for feasible neighborhood runoff solutions. Using a class criteria matrix, they connect effectiveness to scientific ideas such as dissolve, float, stick, and travel, plus user needs and Chicago infrastructure limits. The class leaves with a shared checklist for prototypes and briefs.
