Inquiring and Analyzing
"We need to develop something to show our process and summarize our research."
A4: Developing a Design Brief
"Let's show all of the specific parts of our design."
B1: Developing a Design Specification
"We should place this in a logical order so that everything flows better."
C1: Constructing a Logical Plan
"This solution did not work out very well."
D2: Evaluating the Success of the Solution
Students write a detailed specification which drives the development of a solution. They present the solution.
Criterion B
"We have identified this, now we need to decide what to research first."
A2: Identifying and Prioritizing the Research
"We need to come up with ideas for our design."
B2: Developing Design Ideas
"We can use our Technical skills to create the product following the plan."
C2: Demonstrating Technical Skills
"This solution caused something else to happen."
D4: Explaining the Impact of the Solution
Students design tests to evaluate the presentation/ carry out those test and objectively evaluate the success of the presentation
Criterion D
"Lets look at this product and see what it has."
A3: Analyzing Existing Products
"How are we going to show our design?."
B3: Presenting the Chosen Design
"The plan is telling us to do this, so let's do that first."
C3: Following the Plan to Make the Solution
"If we changed this part, the solution will get better."
D3: Explaining how the Solution Could be Improved
Students are presented with a design situation, from which they identify a problem that needs to be solved. They analyze the need for a solution and conduct an inquiry into the nature of a problem.
Criterion A
"We used this process to identify the needs or problems of a target audience."
A1: Explaining and Justifying the Need
"This final prototype will help us visualize our product."
B4: Developing Planning Drawings/Diagrams
"We had to change this part because it did not fit in with the rest of our solution."
C4: Justifying Changes Made to the Solution
"We could test this by doing........ or..........."
D1: Designing Testing Methods
Students plan the creation of the chosen solution and follow the plan to create a prototype sufficient for testing and evaluating.
Criterion C
