During Spring 1 we will be completing a DT unit.

'Vehicles'

 

Processes:

  • I can design useful pleasing products for myself and other users based on a design brief
  • I can generate, develop, model and communicate my ideas through talking, drawing, templates, mock-ups and IT
  • I can choose tools I would like to use and select materials based on my knowledge of their properties
  • I can safely measure, make out, cut and shape materials and components using a range of tools
  • I can investigate different techniques for stiffening a variety of materials and explore different methods of enabling structures to remain stable
  • I can explore and use mechanisms such a lever, sliders, wheels and axles in products

Evaluate:

  • I can decide how existing products do/do not achieve their purpose.
  • I can talk about their design as they develop it and identify good and bad points.
  • I can say what I like and do not like about items I have made and attempt to say why.
  • I can evaluate and assess existing products and those that I have made using a design criteria
