- Divide the class into groups that have different topics besides nanotechnology and have each group share their discussions with the entire class
Classroom Considerations
- If this is the first time the class has used the creative problem-solving model, some additional guidance may be needed
- Provide Internet access in order to allow further research
Pros
- An engaging way to introduce a new topic
- The resource provides the information needed in order to implement the creative problem-solving model
Cons
- Rubric states that 40 is the maximum point possible; however, there are three attributes each worth 10 points
