Third graders learn to distinguish what a design must do (criteria) from what limits a solution (constraints) in this engineering design worksheet, laying the groundwork for structured problem solving. Teachers can use it before or after a hands-on design challenge to help students articulate goals and boundaries clearly. The skill is central to the engineering design process and reappears in every subsequent science and STEM unit.
Learning objectives
