Phase	Description
Engage	Students ask questions associated with an introductory activity that engages their curiosity and provides a purpose for studying local environmental issues
Explore	Students collect data to use as evidence to understand a local issue
Explain	Students use evidence from the Explore phase to construct arguments to address their scientific questions
Engineer	Students extend their understanding through the design of a trap and a plan that meets specific design criteria and constraints Students test their solutions through feedback and data collection to determine if their solution is optimal for addressing the problem
Educate	Students synthesize key ideas from their designs to inform and educate local stakeholders about possible implementation in their area
