Guys, its past due, please help me!! Part One: Defining the Problem and Sub-Problems

1. Choose one of the real-world problems about natural resources to research. Explain which one you chose here.

2. Research this problem to learn more about it. Use the research tools given in the lesson if you need help.

3. After you have researched the problem, explain in your own words who the problem impacts and why it is important.

4. List two sub-problems that are part of the bigger problem but are more manageable and solvable.

5. Explain how these sub-problems are related to or a direct result of the overall problem.

Part Two: Criteria, Constraints, and Prioritizations

1. Choose one sub-problem that you will investigate further and explain which one you chose here.

2. List two realistic criteria for the sub-problem.

3. Explain why it is important for these criteria to be met in order to solve the problem.

4. List two constraints for the sub-problem.

5. Explain why these constraints exist. (How do they limit solutions to the problem?)

6. Prioritization of the criteria and constraints and an explanation supporting the decisions made based on research.

Ranking | Criteria or Constraint | Reason for Prioritization

1

2

3

4

Part Three: Generate Solutions

1. List two solutions that you have generated for the chosen sub-problem.

2. Describe how the sub-problem can be solved, and include the research supporting each solution.

3. Explain how prioritization was involved in designing each solution.

4. Explain how both solutions to the sub-problem play a role in solving the larger problem.

5. List of the sources (at least three) you used for research, following the MLA style guide.
