Grade 3 Engineering Design Practice Test

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is A need or challenge that requires a solution.

1. Read the design task: Identify the problem, requirement, material, test, or result described.
2. Apply the design process: Engineers begin by identifying a need or challenge that a design could solve.
3. Check the choice: The correct choice is A need or challenge that requires a solution.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is Requirements that a successful solution should meet.

1. Read the design task: Identify the problem, requirement, material, test, or result described.
2. Apply the design process: Criteria describe what the solution needs to do or be like.
3. Check the choice: The correct choice is Requirements that a successful solution should meet.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is Limits on a design, such as time, materials, or size.

1. Read the design task: Identify the problem, requirement, material, test, or result described.
2. Apply the design process: Constraints are limits that engineers must work within.
3. Check the choice: The correct choice is Limits on a design, such as time, materials, or size.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is A model or first version used to test a design.

1. Read the design task: Identify the problem, requirement, material, test, or result described.
2. Apply the design process: A prototype lets engineers try out an idea before making a final solution.
3. Check the choice: The correct choice is A model or first version used to test a design.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is Plan the design and choose useful materials..

1. Read the design task: Identify the problem, requirement, material, test, or result described.
2. Apply the design process: Planning helps engineers decide how the design will meet the criteria.
3. Check the choice: The correct choice is Plan the design and choose useful materials..

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is To find out how well it works and what could improve.

1. Read the design task: Identify the problem, requirement, material, test, or result described.
2. Apply the design process: Testing provides evidence about strengths and weaknesses in a design.
3. Check the choice: The correct choice is To find out how well it works and what could improve.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is Change it so it works better or meets the criteria more closely.

1. Read the design task: Identify the problem, requirement, material, test, or result described.
2. Apply the design process: Improving or redesigning uses test results to create a stronger solution.
3. Check the choice: The correct choice is Change it so it works better or meets the criteria more closely.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is A design that addresses a problem or need.

1. Read the design task: Identify the problem, requirement, material, test, or result described.
2. Apply the design process: A solution is a designed response to the identified problem.
3. Check the choice: The correct choice is A design that addresses a problem or need.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is Information or measurements collected while testing.

1. Read the design task: Identify the problem, requirement, material, test, or result described.
2. Apply the design process: Evidence such as distance, strength, or time helps evaluate a prototype.
3. Check the choice: The correct choice is Information or measurements collected while testing.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is Engineers identify problems, plan solutions, test them, and improve them..

1. Read the design task: Identify the problem, requirement, material, test, or result described.
2. Apply the design process: Engineering is an iterative process that uses testing and improvement.
3. Check the choice: The correct choice is Engineers identify problems, plan solutions, test them, and improve them..
