Question

match the step to the real life example:

1. identify the problem
2. brainstorm/ research
3. choose the best solution
4. design
5. build
6. test and evaluate
7. re - designing
8. re - build
9. re - test and re - evaluate
10. share solution/ conclusion

a. he decided to first try diluted vinegar.
b. instead of using the store - bought products, he decided to try some other household products that he had around his house. he looked through his cabinets and came up with a number of ideas for products that he could try using.
c. after applying that to the stove top and scrubbing for a little bit, the grease was removed.
d. he ended up writing an email to all of his friends about what had worked in case they were having the same problem themselves.
e. he mixed the 2 tablespoons of baking soda with a tablespoon of water in a small dish.
f. the cleaners that reid bought from the store just never seemed to clean the grease on his stove very well.
g. he took a spray bottle and filled it up halfway with vinegar and the other half with water.
h. after that he decided to try making a paste of water and baking soda.
i. he sprayed the stove top, dried it off and determined that it still did not take off the grease as well as he wanted.
j. with the materials he had available, he decided a spray bottle would be best to use for the mixture.

Explanation:

1. Identify the Problem: F describes the issue (store - bought cleaners not cleaning grease well), so 1 - F.
2. Brainstorm/Research: B is about coming up with ideas for household products, so 2 - B.
3. Choose the Best solution: A is deciding to try diluted vinegar, so 3 - A.
4. Design: J is about deciding on a spray bottle for the mixture, so 4 - J.
5. Build: G is filling the spray bottle, E is mixing baking soda and water, so 5 - G, E (but likely G first as it's part of the vinegar solution build, E for baking soda paste build; but following the order, 5 - G, 8 - E? Wait, no, let's re - check. Build is making the solution. G: filling spray bottle with vinegar - water, E: mixing baking soda - water. So 5 - G, 8 - E? Wait, the steps: Design (J: decide spray bottle), then Build (G: fill spray bottle, E: mix baking soda paste). Then Test (I: test vinegar, C: test baking soda? Wait, 6. Test and Evaluate: I is testing vinegar (sprayed, dried, determined not good), C is testing baking soda (grease removed). 7. Re - designing: H (decide to try baking soda paste after vinegar didn't work). 8. Re - build: E (mix baking soda paste). 9. Re - test and Re - evaluate: C (test baking soda paste, works). 10. Share Solution/Conclusion: D (email friends). So:
6. 1 - F (Identify Problem: store cleaners not working)
7. 2 - B (Brainstorm: come up with household product ideas)
8. 3 - A (Choose Best: try diluted vinegar)
9. 4 - J (Design: decide spray bottle)
10. 5 - G (Build: fill spray bottle with vinegar - water)
11. 6 - I (Test and Evaluate: test vinegar, not good)
12. 7 - H (Re - designing: decide to try baking soda paste)
13. 8 - E (Re - build: mix baking soda paste)
14. 9 - C (Re - test and Re - evaluate: test baking soda, works)
15. 10 - D (Share Solution: email friends)
