Click on any that you seem relevant and intriguing.<\/p>\n<p>Narrow down the options to a few and do more research. Talk with people, think about resources you\u2019ll need and the time it will take to complete the project. Keep filling out your Project Planner. The project you decide on might be affected by where you want to do you project. Once you decide on the project and location, you\u2019ll be ready to design and do the project.<\/p>\n<h4><\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

have several solutions. <\/p>\n\n<p>In small groups, list and discuss the pros and cons (strengths and limitations) for a minimum of two solutions, or variations of one solution. Consider evaluating on:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>the effectiveness in helping your pollinator<\/li>\n<li>do-ability by students<\/li>\n<li>stakeholder support<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>OR in small groups, complete an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jason.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/JASON-Learning-Decision-Matrix-Engineering.pdf\">Engineering Design Decision Matrix <\/a>(from the Jason Project) to compare solution options. Share and discuss the matrices as a full group. Then, individually, use the information to defend your decision for which solution you think would be most effective at helping your pollinator.<\/p>\n<p>Then choose a solution based on your evaluation. Get teacher approval for your choice.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Create and share a visual presentation<\/strong> that explains the cause(s) of the threat to pollinators, and a science-based argument for why you think your solution will reduce the threat and help the pollinator. A few presentation options: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Paper or digital infographic, a Multi-flow Thinking Map, or other visual representation<\/li>\n<li>An <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ignitetalks.io\">Ignite Talks<\/a><\/li>\n<li>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pechakucha.com\">Pecha Kucha Talks<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Intentionally teach presentation skills<\/strong>: Show several short video clips of pitches that argue for listeners to take a specific action or buy a product.
