Trash Catastrophe Part 2
After students collected authentic data from their class and defined the problem related to trash, students follow through with solving the problem using the engineering process. In the second half of this two part lesson, students define criteria and constraints, engage in researching, then design, build and evaluate a prototype that will help solve our trash problem. While there are two options included in the plan, the second option is the primary focus. In option two students solve the issue of throwing away paper, but making new paper out of recycled paper in a process called frame and deckle. Students then evaluate both the process of making paper and the final product.
