Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 3.63 Generate Several Possible Solutions skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery
A class is building a cover for a temperature card in the school garden. Criteria: keep rain off the card, let air move around it, and keep the numbers easy to read. Constraints: use one clear lid, 2 clips, and 2 small spacers. Test results: Design A was clear to read and dry, but no air could move because it was sealed flat. Design B let air move, but rain blew in through the open top. Design C met all the criteria but used 5 clips. Which next design is the best different solution to test?
ASeal the lid flat over the card with tape on every edge.
BUse 5 clips to hold a bigger cover.
CLeave the top fully open with no rain flap.
DClip the clear lid above the card on 2 spacers and fold a small top flap to block rain while leaving side gaps for air.
Solution & Explanation:A raised clear cover with a top flap can keep the card readable and dry while still allowing airflow.
Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery
The sketches show sorters for 4 types of beads. Criteria: make 4 equal-size sections and stay steady on the table. Constraints: use one box and 3 dividers. Which sketch is a possible solution?
ASketch A: 4 equal sections
BSketch B: 3 sections
CSketch C: 6 sections
DSketch D: uneven 4 sections
Solution & Explanation:Three evenly spaced dividers make four equal sections and keep the sorter within the material limit.
Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery
Why can two students using the same materials still create two different valid solutions to the same engineering problem?
ABecause materials can be arranged in different ways that still meet the criteria and constraints.
BBecause using the same materials makes every design identical.
CBecause constraints matter only after building is finished.
DBecause the rules only allow one exact design.
Solution & Explanation:The same materials can be used in different shapes and structures, and more than one arrangement may work.
