8th Grade The Design Process Worksheets

Ages 13-14 · Free previews · Print-ready PDFs

Written by Adi Ackerman, Head Teacher

The design process moves from defining a problem to comparing, testing and improving solutions. There are 4 sheets for 8th grade here, each with an answer key, all about one self heating pouch for the Ridgeline Hiking Club. Students set criteria and constraints, score four prototypes in a weighted decision matrix, average three trials of test data and plan a fair retest. The sheets practice MS-ETS1-1, MS-ETS1-2, MS-ETS1-3 and MS-ETS1-4.

Frequently Asked Questions

Define the problem with criteria and constraints, compare possible designs, test prototypes and use the results to improve the best design. The four pouch sheets follow these steps in order. Each sheet builds on the last.
