Science and Engineering Practices - 6-8.SEP1.3:
Define a design problem that can be solved through thedevelopment of an object, tool, process or system and includes multiple criteria and constraints, including scientific knowledge that may limit possible solutions.

Disciplinary Core Ideas - S.MS.ETS.1.1.DCI:
ETS1.A: Defining and Delimiting Engineering Problems •The more precisely a design task’s criteria and constraints can be defined, the more likely it is that the designed solution will be successful. Specification of constraints includes consideration of scientific principles and other relevant knowledge that are likely to limit possible solutions.

Crosscutting Concepts - CC8.3:
All human activity draws onnatural resources and has both short and long-term consequences, positive as well as negative, for the health of people and the natural environment.

Crosscutting Concepts - CC8.4:
The uses of technologies and limitations on their use are driven by individual or societal needs, desires, and values; by the findings of scientific research; and by differences in such factors as climate, natural resources, and economic conditions.
