Skills & Standards

---

Aligned to Ontario expectations in science learning, this Grade 7 Science Ontario engineering design focus supports crosscutting concepts such as structure and function, cause and effect, and systems and interactions. Students engage with disciplinary core ideas related to materials, testing, and the engineering design process while strengthening modeling skills through load path diagrams and prototype-test reasoning. Each worksheet emphasizes analytical reasoning (comparing results, selecting criteria, and explaining patterns) and evidence-based explanations (using observations and test outcomes to justify claims about performance, durability, and failure).

Perfect For

---

• Teachers seeking structured instruction
• Sub plans
• Homework or review
• Intervention or centers
• Assessment preparation

How to Use

---

Use this lesson bundle over several days by pairing related worksheets—for example, start with load path basics and mapping, then move into material properties and testing, and finish with failure modes, connection design, and design process synthesis. A simple pacing option is 3 worksheet days (4 worksheets per session) with a short teacher check-in where students explain one evidence claim using their results; for centers, rotate groups through load path, properties/testing, and failure-mode reasoning, then have students complete one quick reflection prompt before returning for a whole-class summary.
