Compare observations of solution optimization and describe the pattern you notice
Students in middle school compare observations across engineering design trials to identify patterns in solution optimization, building the analytical thinking central to iterative design. Teachers can use this worksheet to support STEM project reviews or as a structured reflection after hands-on testing activities. It bridges practical experimentation and the scientific practice of using evidence to refine solutions.
Learning objectives
- Compare data from multiple solution trials to identify patterns in performance
