3-5-ETS1-2   Engineering Design

Students who demonstrate understanding can:

3-5-ETS1-2. Generate and compare multiple possible solutions to a problem based on how well each is likely to meet the criteria and constraints of the problem.
The performance expectation above was developed using the following elements from the NRC document A Framework for K- 12 Science Education:

Science and Engineering Practices

Constructing Explanations and Designing Solutions

Constructing explanations and designing solutions in 3–5 builds on K–2 experiences and progresses to the use of evidence in constructing explanations that specify variables that describe and predict phenomena and in designing multiple solutions to design problems.

Disciplinary Core Ideas

ETS1.B: Developing Possible Solutions

Crosscutting Concepts

Influence of Science, Engineering, and Technology on Society and the Natural World

Connections to 3-5-ETS1.B: Developing Possible Solutions Problems include:

Articulation of DCIs across grade-levels:

K-2.ETS1.A ; K-2.ETS1.B ; K-2.ETS1.C ; MS.ETS1.B ; MS.ETS1.C

Common Core State Standards Connections:
