THE PROBLEM SOLVING PROCESS
1. IDENTIFICATION OF THE PROBLEM
2. RESEARCH AND EXPLORE DIFFERENT
IDEAS
3. SELECT THE MOST APPROPRIATE IDEA
4. CREATE EXPERIMENTS TO TEST THE IDEA
5. RECORD THE RESULTS OF THE
EXPERIMENTS 6. EVALUATION AND
CONCLUSION
1. IDENTIFICATION OF THE PROBLEM
❖ IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO
