 * Problem**: How can I create a healthy recipe for a specific body system in order for my body to be able for our body to function properly. You will choose a body system on moodle.

Design Cycle: Investigate, Plan, Create, and Evaluate



How can I create a healthy recipe for a specific body system in order for my body to be able to function properly and prevent a common disease/syndrome related to this system. You will be given a body system.

What is the problem you will investigate? (Which body system)
 * INVESTIGATE:**

Write the questions you need to answer: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.
 * Develop the design brief**. What do you need to know in order to solve this problem?

What common disease/syndrome/ailments are related to this system? Sources:

Use the space below and additional for your research notes, be sure to site your sources. Sources:


 * Design Specifications**:

1. Must include at least 6 ingredients showing the quantities to serve 2 adults. 2. Recipe will include a step-by-step instructions to serve 2 adults. 3. Must actually prepare your recipe and bring it in for everyone to taste and evaluate. 4. Must include a report: How your recipe positively affects the system, including each organ it helps and how. Explain how your recipe would prevent a common disease/syndrome that could affect this system and why this is so important.

Sources:

1. How does this recipe positively affect the system, including the organs?

2. How can your recipe prevent a common disease/syndrome that could affect this system?

Sources:

3. Why is this so important today in our society? How does this disease effect society?


 * PLAN: Design a product or solution. Plan a product/solution.**

What recipe have you planned?

What ingredients do you need for this recipe?

Does this plan follow the design specifications? (look above in the investigation stage)


 * CREATE**: **Use appropriate techniques and equipment. Follow the plan. Create the produce/solution**.

What ingredients are you purchasing?

Are you following your plan? Have you made any changes?

Make your recipe.....


 * Evaluate: Evaluate the product/solution. Evaluate the use of the design cycle**

How did it taste?

How did your progress journal go? Explain.
