Definition of problem : Drop an uncooked egg from 3m high onto hard ground without breaking it.
Brainstorming
The process of generating ideas to solve the problem
Identification of resources
Determine what is needed for EACH solution. e.g rubber bands, string , balloons etc.
Evaluation of pros and cons of multiple solutions
Compare each solution across similar criteria:
e.g. availability of resources, cost, how well each solution is expected to solve the problem, the complexity of the solution.
Determining most feasible solution.
After we have thoroughly evaluated the solutions, we choose one of them and implement it.
