Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 5.75 Generate and Compare Multiple Solutions skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

A team needs multiple possible solutions to keep a plant watered over a weekend. Possible ideas include a wick system from a small reservoir, a dry paper towel and a sealed empty cup. Tradeoff: the team must consider strength, time, and material use. What should the team do next?

AConsidering the tradeoffs, use the first idea for keeping a plant watered over a weekend without comparing it with any other solution.

BConsidering the tradeoffs, choose the sealed empty cup only because that option is easiest to name.

CConsidering the tradeoffs, stop after brainstorming because testing and comparison are not part of design.

DConsidering the tradeoffs, generate at least two testable options, then compare the wick system from a small reservoir, dry paper towel, and sealed empty cup using the criteria and evidence.

Solution & Explanation:Engineers generate more than one possible solution and compare options using criteria, constraints, and evidence from tests.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

A team needs multiple possible solutions to make a model boat carry coins. Possible ideas include a wide foil boat with raised sides, a narrow flat strip of foil and a solid clay ball. Tradeoff: the team must consider strength, time, and material use. What should the team do next?
