This is presented as an "agent handbook," as learners are acting as new agents helping the main character with the mission/problem. Librarians may choose to download and print this handbook for learners or have them do it. Alternatively, librarians may decide to have learners type answers on a computer or provide learners with a folder in which to place the printouts or spiral notebook in which to write answers, sketch ideas, etc. The following link to the handbook is also available to students in their student version of this book.<a class="" href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/11yK9xLbmGwvlHBENrw9AjMSYthjK51r_/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-shortened-url="https://edtechbooks.org/-Jqqe" data-unshortened-url="https://drive.google.com/file/d/11yK9xLbmGwvlHBENrw9AjMSYthjK51r_/view?usp=sharing" data-mce-href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/11yK9xLbmGwvlHBENrw9AjMSYthjK51r_/view?usp=sharing">Double-O STEM Club Agent Handbook: Reconsidering Food Packaging</a>For your convenience, the student version of each activity is located in the "Think," "Create," and "Share & Grow" sections of this book. </div></div></div></div></div><div class="card answerKey"><a class="card-header" data-bs-toggle="collapse" data-bs-target="#answerKey_9p6s1" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="answerKey_9p6s1" href="https://edtechbooks.org/double_o_stem/" data-shortened-url="https://edtechbooks.org/-kID" data-unshortened-url="https://edtechbooks.org/double_o_stem/" data-mce-href="https://edtechbooks.org/double_o_stem/">Learning Objectives & Aligned Standards</a><div id="answerKey_9p6s1" class="collapse card-body answerKeyAnswer">Learning Objectives<ul id="ul_hwIg" class="ul1" name="ul_hwIg"><li id="li_scNX" class="li1" name="li_scNX">The agent will describe the main problem associated with the presented case.</li><li id="li_sXvA" class="li1" name="li_sXvA">The agent will articulate questions suitable for library research based on identified problems in the case.</li><li id="li_IznZ" class="li1" name="li_IznZ">The agent will determine parameters for what a successful solution to the problem entails in light of the contextual constraints.</li><li id="li_mLrQ" class="li1" name="li_mLrQ">The agent will use library databases and circulation materials to examine identified research questions.</li><li id="li_dekC" class="li1" name="li_dekC">Based on findings from conducted library research, the agent will hypothesize one or more solutions to an identified problem in the case.</li><li id="li_nUDr" class="li1" name="li_nUDr">The agent will develop an environmentally friendly food packaging prototype to hold one or more types of produce presented in the case.</li><li id="li_TFSj" class="li1" name="li_TFSj">The agent will develop instruments to collect data regarding identified problems/solutions.</li><li id="li_KWMr" class="li1" name="li_KWMr">The agent will collect, analyze, and reflect on data from developed instruments.</li><li id="li_ehVY" class="li1" name="li_ehVY">The agent will revise work based on analyzed data and feedback.</li><li id="li_BaWe" class="li1" name="li_BaWe">The agent will identify benefits and limitations of their prototype using evaluation criteria.</li><li id="li_hPmn" class="li1" name="li_hPmn">The agent will revise prototypes based on evaluation feedback.</li></ul>Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) -

They should start to create a list of qualities or criteria to consider when choosing packaging (e.g., Should people be able to see the produce? How strong should it be? Can the packaging be pliable or should it be stiff?).

This may require them to make a new version of their prototype (if testing and reflection damaged or destroyed their prototype). Encourage agents to focus on a quality build over aesthetics (if needed). Then have agents describe their package, the design decisions they used to develop it, how testing and reflection improved their product, and how they would continue to perfect the model if given the chance. Use this session to focus on celebrating accomplishments and creative thinking.Materials<ul id="ul_TLcQ" class="" name="ul_TLcQ"><li id="li_TitB" class="" aria-level="1" name="li_TitB">Copies of agent prototypes</li><li id="li_XrRW" class="" aria-level="1" name="li_XrRW">Summarized feedback from evaluation criteria</li><li id="li_rHdq" class="" aria-level="1" name="li_rHdq">Photographs and video captured from prior sessions</li><li id="li_tZzf" class="" aria-level="1" name="li_tZzf">Agent notebooks to remember ideas</li><li id="li_qpqD" class="" aria-level="1" name="li_qpqD">Presentation tools (e.g., easel pads, presentation software)</li><li id="li_QkkG" class="" aria-level="1" name="li_QkkG">Celebration Materials (e.g., party noise makers, confetti, banners)</li><li id="li_HXRC" class="" aria-level="1" name="li_HXRC">Computers for agents to develop presentations (as applicable)</li><li id="li_TpNJ" class="" aria-level="1" name="li_TpNJ">LCD projector (as applicable) to project presentations</li></ul>SetupThis activity includes individual and group discussion. Prior to the lesson, set up a seating arrangement that allows for whole and small group discussion around group presentations. Make sure to decorate the presentation space with celebration materials. Provide agents with their notebooks, photographs and videos of prototypes and testing examples, summaries of evaluation criteria for their prototypes, and a copy of their best prototype. Also provide tools for groups to develop a short presentation about their work.<div class="callout objectives" data-callout-custom-class="objectives"><h3 id="h3_oYsk" name="h3_oYsk">Agent View</h3>Activity 6: Showcase and ReflectionGreat job, agents!
