Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 5.80 Analyze Failure Points and Improvements skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Test result: A prototype for keeping a plant watered over a weekend partly failed because it did not deliver water slowly to the soil. Tradeoff: the team must consider strength, time, and material use. Which failure point and improvement are best supported by the test?

AConsidering the tradeoffs, change a random part of the prototype for keeping a plant watered over a weekend that was not related to the test result.

BConsidering the tradeoffs, throw away all data about keeping a plant watered over a weekend because the first test failed.

CConsidering the tradeoffs, decorate the prototype for keeping a plant watered over a weekend instead of fixing the tested failure.

DConsidering the tradeoffs, the failure point is that the prototype did not deliver water slowly to the soil; improve the part connected to that result and retest the design.

Solution & Explanation:Analyzing failure points means using test evidence to decide what should be changed, then retesting the improved design.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Test result: A prototype for making a model boat carry coins partly failed because it did not displace water or resist tipping. Tradeoff: the team must consider strength, time, and material use. Which failure point and improvement are best supported by the test?

AConsidering the tradeoffs, change a random part of the prototype for making a model boat carry coins that was not related to the test result.

BConsidering the tradeoffs, throw away all data about making a model boat carry coins because the first test failed.

CConsidering the tradeoffs, the failure point is that the prototype did not displace water or resist tipping; improve the part connected to that result and retest the design.

DConsidering the tradeoffs, decorate the prototype for making a model boat carry coins instead of fixing the tested failure.

Solution & Explanation:Analyzing failure points means using test evidence to decide what should be changed, then retesting the improved design.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Test result: A prototype for creating a hand-washing reminder partly failed because it did not communicate clearly where students need it. Tradeoff: the team must consider strength, time, and material use. Which failure point and improvement are best supported by the test?

AConsidering the tradeoffs, change a random part of the prototype for creating a hand-washing reminder that was not related to the test result.

BConsidering the tradeoffs, the failure point is that the prototype did not communicate clearly where students need it; improve the part connected to that result and retest the design.

CConsidering the tradeoffs, throw away all data about creating a hand-washing reminder because the first test failed.

DConsidering the tradeoffs, decorate the prototype for creating a hand-washing reminder instead of fixing the tested failure.

Solution & Explanation:Analyzing failure points means using test evidence to decide what should be changed, then retesting the improved design.
