Grade 5 Engineering Design Process Quiz

What is the first step of the Engineering Design Process?

• Create a prototype

• Identify the problem

• Test the solution

• Brainstorm ideas

What should you do after identifying the problem?

• Build a solution

• Test the prototype

• Research and brainstorm solutions

• Share results

Which of these is an example of a prototype?

• A list of materials

• A drawing of a solution

• A model or working version of the design

• A final, polished product

Why is it important to test your prototype?

• To see if it works as planned

• To finish the project quickly

• To skip other steps

• To show it to others

What is the purpose of brainstorming?

• To find flaws in the design

• To come up with multiple ideas for a solution

• To skip testing

• To find materials

Which step comes before improving your prototype?

• Brainstorming

• Testing

• Sharing results

• Identifying the problem

What should you do if your prototype doesn’t work during testing?

• Give up and start over

• Ignore the results

• Improve the design and test again

• Skip to the next step

Why is sharing your results important in the Engineering Design Process?

• To get help from others

• To brag about your solution

• To let others learn from your process

• To get a reward

The Engineering Design Process is a cycle, meaning you can repeat steps if needed.

• True

• False

Once a prototype works, you no longer need to improve it.

• True

• False
