Part 1: Designing Solutions 1. Describe the two phenomena (sub-problems) that caused the contamination of
Cleveland's drinking water,
2. What criteria (data points) were the NOAA buoys collecting to address the sub-problems
faced by Cleveland Water? Which of these criteria should have highest priority when
determining a solution to the sub-problems?
3. What societal, ecological, or technical constraints should resource managers consider
before proposing solutions?
4. Describe the design solution engineers and scientists developed to prevent
contamination of Cleveland drinking water. Why did their solution need to address both
sub-problems equally?
5. Propose two additional solutions to address the ecological phenomena causing the
water contamination in Lake Erie.
Part 2: Claim-Evidence-Reasoning
1. In what ways have the buoys lessened the negative effects of water contamination in
Lake Erie.
