Year 9 - Happy Wednesday!

We have a double today so let's finish the Investigation (Criterion A). 

Remember that the Investigation has 3 steps:  Remember to introduce each section with a sentence.
1.  Identify the Problem
2.  Develop a Design Brief
3.  Formulate a Design Specification

Include a detailed list of 5 specifications. Let's brainstorm a list of appropriate design specifications.

Then create a test that will help you evaluate your product/solution in Criterion E - Evaluate. 

Introduce this with a sentence such as:  

To evaluate my product I will create a questionnaire.  On a scale of 1 to 5 (1 = awful and 5 = awesome) I will ask the following questions.  Then create a questionnaire.  You will create at least 1 question for each design specification.



Learning Objective: The student will list, with limited guidance, the specific requirements that must be met by the product/solution and design, with limited guidance, tests to evaluate the product/solution against the design specification.

Year 9, Now on to 3.  Formulate a Design Specification

 3. Formulate a Design Specification.  Based on your research you should have a good idea about what you want to include in your web page. 

The IBO says that the design specification is "A detailed description of the conditions, requirements and restrictions with which a design must comply. This is a precise and accurate list of facts such as conditions, dimensions, materials, process and methods that are important for the designer and for the user. All appropriate solutions will need to comply with the design specification."

Include a detailed list of 5 specifications. Let's brainstorm a list of appropriate design specifications.

Then create a test that will help you evaluate your product/solution in Criterion E - Evaluate.

To evaluate my product I will create a questionnaire.  On a scale of 1 to 5 (1 = awful and 5 = awesome) I will ask the following questions.  Then create a questionnaire.  You will create at least 1 question for each design specification.
