Designed for Grade 3, this worksheet focuses on the Ask step and on identifying real problems and users. Students practice writing clear problem statements, spotting good engineering questions, and matching needs to users. With sentence correction, fill-in, and true-or-false items aligned to NGSS 3-5-ETS1, learners build the question-asking skills every young engineer needs to start a strong Grade 3 design project.

Engineering Design Process
Part A: Fix the Sentence
Each sentence has an error. Rewrite it correctly on the line.
1. Fix the sentence:
Engineers identifys the problem before making a plan.
Rewrite: Engineers identify the problem before making a plan.
2. Fix the sentence:
The Ask step help engineers understand whom the design is for.
Rewrite: The Ask step helps engineers understand who the design is for.
3. Fix the sentence:
Good questions finds out what users really need.
Rewrite: Good questions find out what users really need.
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. An engineering problem is something people need or want fixed.
2. In the Ask step, engineers ask questions about the problem.
3. The person who will use the design is called the user.
4. A good problem statement tells what is needed and who it is for.
Part C: True or False?
Read each statement. Circle True or False.
1. Grade 3 engineers ask questions to understand a problem.
True False
2. A problem statement should skip saying who the design is for.
True False
3. 'How can we keep a lunchbox cold?' is a good engineering question.
True False
