Identify constraints
Free printable Grade 8 science worksheet for "Identify constraints" — practice engineering design. No-prep, print or assign online.
Middle-school students identify constraints in engineering design problems — the limitations on time, materials, cost, or safety that bound a solution — in this challenging worksheet on Engineering design within Scientific and Engineering Practices. Teachers can use it to help students move beyond brainstorming to realistic planning, recognizing that constraints shape which solutions are actually feasible. It fits design-thinking lessons at Grades 6–8 and prepares students to refine designs responsibly.
Learning objectives
- Identify constraints in an engineering design challenge and categorize them by type
- Explain how constraints limit the range of viable design solutions
- Apply constraint identification to evaluate whether a proposed solution is feasible
