Engineering Design Process Scaffolded Phenomena-Based Lesson: The 10,000 Tooling Scrap & The Unweighted 'Gut-Feel' Prototype Disaster Presentation | Engineering Design | Grades 9–12

This is the student-facing slide presentation that introduces the phenomenon, walks the class through observations and driving questions, and frames the evidence students will use for the Scaffolded Phenomena-Based Lesson in the Engineering Design (grades 9–12) chapter Engineering Design Process, built around the phenomenon The 10,000 Tooling Scrap & The Unweighted 'Gut-Feel' Prototype Disaster. This scaffolded version adds sentence frames and extra supports for students who need them. It is sold separately from the other two parts of the set.
