How does ID work?

Not who or why, but how. Please explain the physical and/or chemical reactions that are involved with sufficient detail that students would have something to study and experiment with.

Hunble, ID theory involves very advanced mathematics. I don't know that I would seriously advocate it be taught at the high school level for that very reason. However, detecting design is a very big field in information theory. I find it odd that people view SETI as an acceptable attempt at discerning intelligence, but not ID theory, oh no! And it's not for any real reason, except that ID theory treads on some very cherished territory. So, while the 'how' as in how does the intelligence do the designing, may be out of the grasp of empirical examination, the 'how' as in how do we detect design, or attempt to detect design, is a very well known and widely studied theory. The controversy as I said is its application to biological systems.
