design process
prototype
GPS - Global Positioning System (helps with directions)
1 - solve problems 2 - make work easier
Identify the problem
1 - time 2 - cost 3 - safety
Design and construct a prototype
Math and Science
Tables and Graphs
Do Research
Test the Prototype
Internet, encyclopedias, informational books, and interviewing experts
Go through the design process again
1 - Identify the Problem, 2 - Do Research, 3 - Develop Possible Solutions, 4 - Choose one Solution, 5 - Design & Construct a Prototype, 6 - Test the Prototype, 7 - Communicate Results, 8 - Evaluate and Redesign
