Core Idea - Engineering Design

[3.ETS.1.2] - Generate several possible solutions to a given design problem. Compare each solution based on how well each is likely to meet the criteria and constraints of the design problem.* Clarification Statement: Examples of design problems can include adapting a switch on a toy for children who have a motor coordination disability, designing a way to clear or collect debris or trash from a storm drain, or creating safe moveable playground equipment for a new recess game.

Resources:

Predecessor Standards:

  • 2.MD.C.8
    Solve word problems involving dollar bills, quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies (up to $10), using $ and ¢ symbols appropriately and whole dollar amounts. For example, if you have 2 dimes and 3 pennies, how many cents do you have? If you have $3 and 4 quarters, how many dollars or cents do you have? (Students are not expected to use decimal notation.)

Successor Standards:

  • 4.ESS.3.2
    Evaluate different solutions to reduce the impacts of a natural event such as an earthquake, blizzard, or flood on humans.* Clarification Statement: Examples of solutions could include an earthquake-resistant building or a constructed wetland to mitigate flooding.
  • 4.PS.4.3
    Develop and compare multiple ways to transfer information through encoding, sending, receiving, and decoding a pattern.* Clarification Statement: Examples of solutions could include drums sending coded information through sound waves, using a grid of 1s and 0s representing black and white to send information about a picture, and using Morse code to send text.
  • 7.ETS.1.2
    Evaluate competing solutions to a given design problem using a decision matrix to determine how well each meets the criteria and constraints of the problem. Use a model of each solution to evaluate how variations in one or more design features, including size, shape, weight, or cost, may affect the function or effectiveness of the solution.*

Same Level Standards:

  • 3.MD.A.1
    Tell and write time to the nearest minute and measure time intervals in minutes. Solve word problems involving addition and subtraction of time intervals in minutes, e.g., by representing the problem on a number line diagram.
  • 3.ESS.3.1
    Evaluate the merit of a design solution that reduces the damage caused by weather.* Clarification Statement: Examples of design solutions to reduce weather-related damage could include a barrier to prevent flooding, a wind-resistant roof, and a lightning rod.
  • 3.ETS.1.4
    Gather information using various informational resources on possible solutions to a design problem. Present different representations of a design solution.* Clarification Statements: Examples of informational resources can include books, videos, and websites. Examples of representations can include graphic organizers, sketches, models, and prototypes. [3-5-ETS1-3 and 3-5-ETS1-5(MA) are found in grade 4
