Testing for Success

by: Page Keeley, Cary Sneider, and Mihir Ravel

The purpose of this assessment probe is to elicit students’ initial ideas and attitudes about the procedure that should be followed when testing models to determine if a design solves the problem. The probe is designed to see if students recognize how a design can be improved based on a careful analysis of the result of the test.
