Question

Portfolio Activity, Part 1

For this portfolio, you will be presenting your design solution and explaining why it is the best choice for the problem facing your ecosystem of choice. You will begin this activity by comparing your design solution to others

Many design solutions have the same goals. What makes one preferable to the others is the costs, constraints, and potential benefits. Begin by revisiting the costs, constraints, and potential benefits you identified for your design solution. Then identify alternative solutions that would ultimately accomplish the same goals of your own. Determine the costs and constraints of these design solutions, as well as any potential benefits.

Organize the information in a format that you can easily access and refer back to. In the next lesson, you will use your analysis to present your design solution.

Presenting Your Design Solution Portfolio

D

In this portfolio, you have identified a problem related to preserving biodiversity. You have also evaluated and compared different solutions that will help to prevent biodiversity loss. Now that you have chosen, researched, developed, and evaluated a design solution for this problem, you will present your information.

A presentation can have several goals. Your main goal in this presentation will be to share information about your design solution. However, consider the following goals as well as you go forward:

informing your audience about threats to biodiversity

persuading your audience that your solution is the most effective

convincing your audience to participate in your solution

instructing your audience as to how they can personally implement your solution

- Explain the consequences of not taking action to preserve biodiversity.

3. Design Solution:
- Present your chosen design solution in detail, including how it works, what resources are needed, and how it will be implemented.
- Explain how your solution addresses the identified threats to biodiversity and why it is the most effective option.

4. Comparison of Alternative Solutions:
- Discuss alternative solutions that were considered and compare them to your chosen design solution in terms of costs, constraints, and potential benefits.
- Explain why your design solution is the preferable choice based on your analysis.

5. Benefits of Your Design Solution:
- Highlight the potential benefits of implementing your design solution, such as preserving endangered species, protecting ecosystems, and promoting sustainability.
- Discuss how your solution can contribute to long-term conservation efforts and promote biodiversity.

6. Call to Action:
- Encourage your audience to support and participate in your design solution.
- Provide information on how individuals can get involved and make a difference in preserving biodiversity.
- Share ways in which your audience can implement your solution in their own lives or communities.

7. Conclusion:
- Summarize the key points of your presentation and reiterate why your design solution is the best choice for addressing the problem of biodiversity loss.
- Thank your audience for their attention and participation.

By structuring your presentation in this way, you will effectively communicate your design solution and engage your audience in the importance of preserving biodiversity. Good luck with your portfolio presentation!
