Module 06 — Heat and Particles · quiz worth 40 pts
Part III is a comparison. Hold the problem still while you compare two ways to address it.
Use the exact subproblem from Parts I and II.
Develop two distinct solutions with equal care.
Prioritize with criteria, evidence, constraints, and a tradeoff.
What makes the comparison fair?
Both solutions address the same subproblem and are judged with the same criteria.

Open the work from Parts I and II before drafting. Part III should use the same larger problem and the same chosen subproblem unless the course directions or teacher feedback require a change. Copy the exact subproblem statement into working notes so each solution is evaluated against the same need.
Make it narrow enough that a proposed solution can address it.
State what a successful solution should accomplish.
Record real limits from earlier work, such as available resources, safety, time, scale, or required performance, only when they belong to this project.
Decide what research or data can show how each solution performs.
Describe how it works, what it needs, and how it helps the selected subproblem.
Give it the same level of explanation and research so the comparison is fair.
Attach a source-supported reason to each claimed benefit or limitation.
Explain how improving the subproblem could help the larger problem from Part I.
Use the same four questions for each solution.
How would it work?
What resources or conditions would it require?
How would it improve the subproblem?
What constraint or tradeoff matters?

Compare both solutions on the same decision factors.
A stronger choice can still have a cost, risk, or limitation.
State which solution should receive priority and identify the criterion that drives that decision.
Use evidence and project constraints, not preference alone.
Build the recommendation from the deciding criterion.
Name which solution comes first.
Use evidence for the most important criterion.
Name a drawback without undoing the recommendation.
Got it now? Scroll back up and re-read the section — it should land differently.
How should the recommendation paragraph be organized?
The paragraph makes a traceable claim: priority → criterion → evidence → tradeoff → larger-problem connection.
The assignment calls for a final MLA citation page with at least three sources. Each source on that page should support something used in the project, and each borrowed fact, quotation, image, or distinctive idea should be credited in the format required by the course. Keep the citation page with the final Part III submission.
Explain mechanism, requirements, benefits, and limitations for each.
A priority needs a criterion, evidence, and a tradeoff.
Both solutions must address the same defined subproblem.
Use sources in the reasoning and cite borrowed material where it appears.
Answer these as a submission audit, then fix any weak spot in the document.
