This resource turns engineering tradeoffs into a complete, ready to use review for Grade 6-8 physics, covering the same idea from three different angles.
Students will answer questions such as "Which factor could lead to the decision to increase costs in a design?", "How can prioritization help in making engineering tradeoffs?", and "What is a common approach to manage tradeoffs in engineering?"
Because the three worksheets share the same content in three different formats, you can spread them across the week: one for diagnosis, one for practice, and one for assessment, without repeating a single question.
This set is part of a NGSS aligned physics unit. The unit also covers Work and Energy, Input and Output Energy, Efficiency Calculations, Energy in Simple Machines, Comparing Device Efficiency, and Insulation and Energy Loss, all in the same three worksheet format, so your classroom routine stays familiar while the topic changes.
Suitable for Grade 6-8 physics classes, and for review at any point in the school year. This set is aligned to NGSS standard MS-PS3-4.
