Engineering: Which paper towel works best?
Written by Adi Ackerman, Head Teacher
"Engineering: Which paper towel works best?" is written for 2nd Grade (Ages 7-8), and it covers NGSS K-2-ETS1-3. That standard sits in the kindergarten band, so treat this worksheet as an early introduction rather than standards practice for this grade. If your little one is a year younger but already steady on engineering and design, the page still works. You may just need to read the instructions out loud. And if they are older and which paper towel works best? never quite stuck, this is a short review rather than busywork.
2nd grade science worksheet: Which paper towel works best? A class tested three paper towels. Each towel was the same size and was dipped in water for the same time. Read the graph and answer the questions. Part of our which paper towel works best? engineering and design collection. Aligned to NGSS standards.
How do I use this worksheet?
Start with something students can look at or think about: a photo, a short video, a jar on the windowsill, or a question like "what do you already know about which paper towel works best??" Then let them work through it independently after a quick group example, checking in with a partner if they get stuck, keeping a word bank or anchor chart in view so the vocabulary stays available. When you review, ask students how they knew, and let them point to the part of the diagram or reading that told them. These which paper towel works best? worksheets work well as a lead in before an investigation, as a way to capture what students noticed afterward, or as review before an assessment.
