- the page has a title
- the room has a window
For the problem "a paper bridge sags under blocks", which statement is the success criterion?
- Bridge A held five blocks; Bridge B held nine
- fold the paper into stronger beams
- use every material in the room
- hold eight blocks
Which constraint limits the design for "a paper bridge sags under blocks"?
- hold eight blocks
- make any solution with no limits
- use two sheets of paper
- fold the paper into stronger beams
Which test evidence should guide the design decision for "lunch cards blow away outside"?
- use safe classroom materials
- the best design has the brightest color
- guess before testing
- Clip design held cards in light wind
What improvement best follows the evidence for "rainwater washes soil from a small garden slope"?
- ignore the test results
- add plants near the low edge
- change the goal after testing
- remove the working part
Which engineering problem needs a solution?

For the problem "a toy car rolls too far past the stop line", which statement is the success criterion?
- stop near the line
- use every material in the room
- use a slightly rougher mat

Which test evidence should guide the design decision for "a paper bridge sags under blocks"?
- Bridge A held five blocks; Bridge B held nine
- guess before testing
- use two sheets of paper
- the best design has the brightest color
What improvement best follows the evidence for "books keep sliding off a classroom shelf"?
- stop before defining the problem
- remove the working part
- add a folded support under the middle
