Welcome to Drying By Design

TEACHER'S INFORMATION

This module features the integration of mathematics, science and technology (MST) through the informed design of Drying By Design. The module is designed to

  • prompt acquisition of mathematical analysis, scientific inquiry and informed design processes
  • foster cooperative learning as students work in design teams
  • provide opportunities for improving communication skills through the use of Design Journal or Design Activity Folio, Design Report and group presentations
  • introduce students to the design process through an engaging design challenge
  • involve individuals and groups as they compose, construct, test, improve and present their design solutions
  • help students realize what they already know about dehydration and about design, guiding students as they identify and investigate factors relevant to design performance and facilitating the acquisition of mathematical, scientific and technological principles related to dehydration.
