Year 11 - By now you should have contacted a teacher and have begun thinking about your product.

Today, please finish with your research and share the information. You need to "evaluate information from a broad range of appropriate acknowledged sources." Is Wikipedia an appropriate acknowledged source for a Year 11 student?

Remember each of you is responsible for ALL of the research.

Next, gather the images, information, etc. that you will need to create your product.

Finally, we will begin with the third stage of the Investigation: FORMULATE THE DESIGN SPECIFICATION. It is here that you will decide parameters for your teaching. Let's take a minute and brainstorm to get some ideas.

Create a list of design specifications. Then think about "Why" you are including this item and made a "Detailed List of Design Specifications" which includes the reason.

Next, describe detailed methods for appropriate testing to evaluate the product/solution against the design specification. Try to think of more than one test.

Look at the Investigation example - it is very helpful.
