There is no project without a challenge and therefore the challenge phase forms the core of the project-based learning. Learners understand most if they are challenged, more especially if they can add a voice to what is being taught to them. in this case, a teacher has to be more creative in order to meet the learners' reasoning and experience/mental processes.
The introduction phase unfolds every thing that the lesson will be about but most importantly, even if the introduction is captivating and meets the learners' level of interest and understanding, they may give out wrong answers or wrong findings in case the task set by the teacher in the challenge phase was not clear to them.
It actually feels good when you capture your students' attention, imagination and interest towards your lesson or project. It then means that you the teacher together with your students have not only contributed to the existing body of knowledge, but have also solved and existing problem which was facing the community.
