Plant+Package+Designs

=Implementing the Design Process to Create Plant Packages =

**The Goal:** To Create a plant package that meets the needs of the product (plant) and the needs of the consumer (functions & cost). **Ask:** What are the needs of the plant? What are the needs of the consumer? What functions should be included in the package? What are the package's properties? What materials should be used to make the package? What will the package cost to make? **Imagine:** What are the possible designs for a plant package that would meet the goal? Brainstorm ideas? How will you choose the best solution? **Plan:** Create a diagram or drawing detailing the materials and design of the plant package. Is your diagram clear enough to hand over to another person and they could create your vision? **Create:** Build it! Stick to your design and planned materials. **Improve:** Test out the package. Did it meet the criteria in the goal? What do you do if it doesn't? How will you make improvements?
