Engineering Design

Grade 3 - Grade 5

Define a simple design problem reflecting a need or want that includes specified criteria for success and constraints on materials, time, or cost.

Generate and compare multiple possible solutions to a problem based on how well each is likely to meet the criteria and constraints of the problem.

Plan and carry out fair tests in which variables are controlled and failure points are considered to identify aspects of a model or prototype that can be improved.

High School

Analyze a major global challenge to specify qualitative and quantitative criteria and constraints for solutions that account for societal needs and wants.

Design a solution to a complex real-world problem by breaking it down into smaller, more manageable problems that can be solved through engineering.

valuate a solution to a complex real-world problem based on prioritized criteria and trade-offs that account for a range of constraints, including cost, safety, reliability, and aesthetics, as well as possible social, cultural, and environmental impacts.

Use a computer simulation to model the impact of proposed solutions to a complex real-world problem with numerous criteria and constraints on interactions within and between systems relevant to the problem.

KINDERGARTEN - GRADE 2

Ask questions, make observations, and gather information about a situation people want to change to define a simple problem that can be solved through the development of a new or improved object or tool.

Develop a simple sketch, drawing, or physical model to illustrate how the shape of an object helps it function as needed to solve a given problem.

Analyze data from tests of two objects designed to solve the same problem to compare the strengths and weaknesses of how each performs.

Middle School

Define the criteria and constraints of a design problem with sufficient precision to ensure a successful solution, taking into account relevant scientific principles and potential impacts on people and the natural environment that may limit possible solutions.

Evaluate competing design solutions using a systematic process to determine how well they meet the criteria and constraints of the problem.

Analyze data from tests to determine similarities and differences among several design solutions to identify the best characteristics of each that can be combined into a new solution to better meet the criteria for success.

Develop a model to generate data for iterative testing and modification of a proposed object, tool, or process such that an optimal design can be achieved.

Use and share observations of local weather conditions to describe patterns over time.

Construct an argument supported by evidence for how plants and animals (including humans) can change the environment to meet their needs.

Use a model to represent the relationship between the needs of different plants or animals (including humans) and the places they live.

Ask questions to understand the purpose of weather forecasting to prepare for and respond to severe weather.

Use observations to describe patterns of what plants and animals (including humans) need to survive.

Plan and conduct an investigation to compare the effects of different strengths or different directions of pushes and pulls on the motion of an object.

Analyze data to determine if a design solution works as intended to change the speed or direction of an object with a push or pull.

Make observations to determine the effect of sunlight on Earth's surface.

Use tools and materials to design and build a structure that will reduce the warming effect of sunlight on an area.

Algorithms & Programming

With guidance, model daily processes and follow algorithms (sets of stepby-step instructions) to complete tasks verbally, kinesthetically, with robot devices, or a programming language.

Algorithms

Control

With guidance, independently or collaboratively create programs to accomplish tasks using a programming language, robot device, or unplugged activity that includes sequencing (i.e., emphasizing the beginning, middle, and end).

Modularity

With guidance, decompose (break down) the steps needed to solve a simple problem.

Program Development

With guidance, create a grade-level appropriate artifact to illustrate thoughts, ideas, or stories in a sequential manner (e.g., story map, storyboard, and sequential graphic organizer).

Independently or with guidance give credit to ideas, creations and solutions of others while developing algorithms.

With guidance, independently or collaboratively debug algorithms using a programming language and/or unplugged activity that includes sequencing.

Use correct terminology (beginning, middle, end) in the development of an algorithm to solve a simple problem.

Variables

With guidance, recognize that computers represent different types of data using numbers or other symbols.

Computing Systems

Devices

With guidance, follow directions and start to make appropriate choices to use computing devices to perform a variety of tasks.

Hardware & Software

Use appropriate terminology to locate and identify common computing devices and components in a variety of environments (e.g., desktop computer, laptop computer, tablet device, monitor, keyboard, mouse, printer).

Troubleshooting

Recognize that computing systems might not work as expected and, with guidance, use accurate terminology to identify simple hardware or software problems (e.g., volume turned down on headphones, monitor turned off).
