How can we redesign a product’s packaging to make it more environmentally friendly?
Grades
9-12
Subjects
Science, Math
Key Content
geometry, modeling, sustainability, engineering design
Students use the engineering-design process and geometric modeling to redesign a product’s packaging to render it more sustainable. Students explore volume, surface area, and dimensions of complex shapes to develop prototypes that meet the product’s packaging design constraints while limiting the packaging material used and/or waste generated.
