Grade 8 gradeScience subjectFree quiz

Grade 8 engineering design is a cycle: define a problem, list criteria and constraints, prototype, test, and iterate. Students weigh trade-offs when no design wins on every measure, and they use failure data to revise. Safety, cost, and materials limits are part of the problem, not afterthoughts.

What you practice

These are the Grade 8 Engineering Design skills this quiz is built around.

Separate criteria (what success looks like) from constraints (limits such as cost, time, or safety).
Use test results to propose a specific design change rather than a vague "try harder".
Explain a trade-off when improving one measure worsens another.

A useful tip

A constraint is a limit you must live with, such as a $20 budget. A criterion is a goal you try to maximize, such as holding the most mass. Mixing the two muddles the evaluation.
