Identify design criteria

Free printable Grade 2 science worksheet for "Identify design criteria" — practice engineering practices. No-prep, print or assign online.

Second graders identify design criteria—the specific requirements a solution must meet—learning a foundational concept of engineering practice within the Scientific and Engineering Practices strand. Teachers can use this worksheet before or after a simple classroom design challenge to help students name and articulate what makes a successful solution, rather than simply declaring something works. Understanding criteria is the starting point for all engineering thinking and sets a clear standard for evaluating student-designed solutions.
