[6.ETS.1.1] - Define the criteria and constraints of a design problem with sufficient precision to ensure a successful solution. Include potential impacts on people and the natural environment that may limit possible solutions.*

Resources:

Predecessor Standards:

  • 3.ETS.1.1
    Define a simple design problem that reflects a need or a want. Include criteria for success and constraints on materials, time, or cost that a potential solution must meet.*

Successor Standards:

  • 7.ETS.1.2
    Evaluate competing solutions to a given design problem using a decision matrix to determine how well each meets the criteria and constraints of the problem. Use a model of each solution to evaluate how variations in one or more design features, including size, shape, weight, or cost, may affect the function or effectiveness of the solution.*
  • HS.ETS.1.2
    Break a complex real-world problem into smaller, more manageable problems that each can be solved using scientific and engineering principles.*

Same Level Standards:

  • 6.ETS.1.5
    Create visual representations of solutions to a design problem. Accurately interpret and apply scale and proportion to visual representations.* Clarification Statements: Examples of visual representations can include sketches, scaled drawings, and orthographic projections. Examples of scale can include ¼" = 1'0" and 1 cm = 1 m.
