Part 1 test: what engineers do — Engineering for kids

Engineer's tip

Find the topic, use the idea — “decide which lesson a question comes from, then use that lesson’s rule”

1. Find the topic: invention, branch, design step, limit or goal, testing, teamwork or tools.
2. Use that lesson’s rule — the design process order is ask, imagine, plan, create, test, improve.
3. For number questions, write the calculation before you answer.

Use it for: Revision of Part 1 before a test, a STEM club challenge or a new project.

Worked example: 🔢 To follow the engineering design process, which comes first: “Create” or “Plan”? → Plan
