Engineering Design Process vs. Scientific Method

In this, our first Blog comment assignment, I would like you to compare and contrast the two processes shown below. One we've learned about and the other you explored in elementary school but will take to the next level here in middle school. You should write your response in a comment by clicking on Comments at the end of the blog post. Your comment should be in paragraph form. You should include at least one similarity and one difference in your paragraph. Be sure to sign your comment with your first name and initial of last name (ex. John S.). You will need to choose the Name/URL profile from the dropdown menu to send your comment. You only need to fill in the name part and can leave the URL blank. Use the same system (John S.) for your name. I will review your comment and then post it for all to see so be sure to do your best and try and respond to the prompt.










Karl Fisch Blog Post on What Students Should Know And Be Able To Do

I read this blog post from Karl Fisch yesterday and thought that I'd share it with anyone interested (is there anyone reading my blog?)

Ooh, just found this one as well from Will Richardson on Better Learning or Better Learners!
