2. 1. Two students want to test how the amount of salt on McDonald’s french fries affects the blood pressure of 8th grade boys and girls that eat them. They conduct three trials with 5 boys and 5 girls.

What is the control experiment in this situation?
a. Doing a completely different experiment about cheeseburgers
b. Doing the experiment with extra salt on the french fries
c. Doing the experiment with 10 students (5 boys and 5 girls)
d. Doing the experiment without any salt on the french fries.

24. What Is Technology
Technology refers to the products and processes that are designed to serve our needs.
Technology also refers to the tools and methods for creating these products.
Technology applies to any product, process, or knowledge that is developed to meet a need.

25. Engineering is the process of creating technology.
Scientists, inventors, business owners, artists, and even students have also engineered new technologies.
Anyone can follow the engineering design process to solve a problem or address a need.

26. How Does Science Relate to Technology?
Engineering uses scientific knowledge to develop technologies. Engineers use science and mathematics to create new technologies that serve human needs. There are many different types of engineers who develop a variety of very different products.

27. What is the Engineering Design Process?
The engineering design process has similarities to the scientific process.
Like the scientific process, some steps may require repeating or modifying to fit different needs.

28. Step 1 Ask: Identifying and Researching a Need
Engineers define and describe the need or problem they are trying to solve.
Research provides engineers with information for problem solving.

29. Step 2 Imagine: Developing Possible Solutions
Brainstorming is the process in which a group of people share ideas quickly to promote additional ideas.
Sometimes a possible solution to the problem comes from these ideas or it may take more time and thought.

30. Step 3 Plan: Making a prototype
A prototype is a test model of the product.
Prototypes allow engineers to see if their design works the way they expect it to.

31. Step 4 Create: Testing and Evaluating
Prototypes are tested and evaluated.
Engineers complete a cost-benefit analysis to make sure that the cost of designing and producing the new product is worth its benefit.

32. Step 5 Improve: Modifying and Retesting the Solution
If a prototype was not successful or did not work well, engineers would either modify their prototype or try a new solution.
It is important that the engineers consider what was learned from the first prototype before they begin the design process again.

33. Communication:
Engineers often need to share their successes, failures, and reasoning with others.
Engineers may explain and promote the technology to customers, or they may communicate with the public through news releases, advertisements, or journals.
