Design Process with Focus on Group/Partner Collaboration

The goal of this ETP is to see how Amazonian principles can be applied in the classroom to reinvent the laboratory design process with the help of collaboration. In the science classroom, laboratory procedures are generally provided for students. Alternatively, to foster critical thinking, this ETP will help students advance their skills in designing their own procedures with the goal of solving an issue, such as separating a mystery mixture that was involved in a murder. During the process, students will evaluate, reflect, and provide feedback for each others’ work by using a rubric. Synonymous with Amazon’s principles in engineering design and resolving failures using the 8D methodology, students will be using the same ideology to test out drafts of their process before finalizing a product.
