Classify model evaluation
This challenging middle-school worksheet asks Grade 6–8 students to classify model evaluation criteria within the Engineering design strand, helping them distinguish between effective and ineffective models as tools for solving problems. Teachers can use it during or after a design cycle to prompt critical thinking about why models are built, revised, and tested before solutions are finalized. It strengthens students' ability to articulate what makes a model useful and how evaluation drives iteration.
Learning objectives
- Classify models based on how well they represent the system or problem being studied
- Evaluate the strengths and limitations of different types of engineering models
- Explain how model evaluation informs the iteration and improvement of design solutions
