This document discusses learning and innovation skills, including thinking creatively, working creatively with others, implementing innovation, reasoning effectively, using system thinking, making judgments and decisions, and solving problems. It provides an example of an engaging scenario where students are asked to test water samples from their community to determine pH levels and analyze possible reasons for changes in aquatic life, then report their findings and recommendations to the town council.

- 5. - Engaging Scenarios or Performance task Engaging Scenario Example: Your community has noticed changes in the aquatic animal and plant life in the water bodies around the community. They have asked you to determine what might be some possible reasons for these changes. Because of your knowledge of water quality and water contaminants, you suspect that pH levels in the water may be responsible. Your task is to obtain water samples from a variety of water sources (At least two test sites) in and around your community, design a process for collecting and testing the water sample to determine the pH level, you will prepare a PPT presentation and a written report on the results of your experiments including information on possible reasons for the differing pH levels. Finally, you will make recommendations to the town council for measures they might make to respond to these changes. Before conducting the experiment, locate information on pH levels and the effect of pH on aquatic plants and animals.
