Do your students need practice for standardized tests? Do you need a way for students to review content while also checking for accuracy? If you answered yes to any of those questions then this engineering vocabulary puzzle resource is for you.
I created this line of self-checking resources to help teachers, parents, and students by providing simple yet comprehensive practice on a variety of topics. The questions are designed to straightforward and useful in promoting fluency in scientific vocabulary.
The concept of this resource is simple: each question a number that corresponds to a row in the puzzle. After students determine their answer, they write the letters in the boxes. The word will either fit or not, giving students automatic feedback on their work.
Let’s get our students thinking, reading, and reviewing vocabulary with this self-checking practice that is compatible with multiple styles of teaching. Your purchase includes both PDF and digital copies that are perfect for pre-reading, homework and review, or even sending to absent students.
Words included:
- criteria
- unintended consequence
- research and development
- model
- innovation
- troubleshoot
- invention
- constraint
- intended benefit
- system
- engineering design process
- modify
- trade off

NGSS STANDARDS COVERED BY THIS ENGINEERING VOCABULARY PUZZLE:
Analyze data from tests to determine similarities and differences among several design solutions to identify the best characteristics of each that can be combined into a new solution to better meet the criteria for success.
Define the criteria and constraints of a design problem with sufficient precision to ensure a successful solution, taking into account relevant scientific principles and potential impacts on people and the natural environment that may limit possible solutions.
Develop a model to generate data for iterative testing and modification of a proposed object, tool, or process such that an optimal design can be achieved.
Evaluate competing design solutions using a systematic process to determine how well they meet the criteria and constraints of the problem.
