Once you have an idea, you need to figure out how you will find your answers. Plan testing that will answer your questions, conduct the testing in a safe and ethical way, and record your results!

• Is your idea safe and ethical?
• How will you control the variables?
• What materials will you use?
• Is your testing plan supported by your background research?
• What is your experiment or design process?
• How will you design and test your solution or prototype?
• How will you collect your data?
• How many samples will you need to test?
