Question

1. which two similarities are between scientists and engineers?

□ they both use their knowledge to learn about the world around them.
□ they both use their knowledge to solve problems.
□ they both design and build things.

1. which three things do engineers design?

□ bridges
□ buildings
□ art
□ cars

1. which three things do engineers do to solve problems?

□ they use their knowledge of science and math to design and build things.
□ they use scientific inquiry to ask questions, do research, and make observations.
□ they identify problems or needs and design solutions to solve them.
□ they test and evaluate the effectiveness of prototypes.

Explanation:

For the first question:

Scientists learn about the world and solve problems using knowledge; engineers solve problems and build/design, so the shared traits are learning about the world and solving problems.

For the second question:

Engineers focus on functional, structural, or mechanical creations; bridges, buildings, and cars fall into this category, while art is an artistic pursuit.

For the third question:

Engineers rely on math/science for design, identify problems to create solutions, and test prototypes; scientific inquiry is more aligned with scientists' core work.

Answer:

1. (First question, TWO correct options)

• They both use their knowledge to learn about the world around them.
• They both use their knowledge to solve problems.

1. (Second question, THREE correct options)

• bridges
• buildings
• cars

1. (Third question, THREE correct options)

• They use their knowledge of science and math to design and build things.
• They identify problems or needs and design solutions to solve them.
• They test and evaluate the effectiveness of prototypes.
