Lesson 2

Peer assessment of research homework

Extension task: Think about the quote below... Do you agree? Why? “Just as energy is the basis of life itself, and ideas the source of innovation, so is innovation the vital spark of all human change, improvement and progress.” Ted Levitt

What do you think of the research?

What went well? Even better if…? Does it give you any ideas?

Write your comments neatly under the homework.

Lesson 2: Idea generation and design developmentToday we will be…• Peer assessing research• Designing solutions and evaluating against specification• Developing our designs through modelling• Exploring what makes a good final design drawing

Designing solutions…

Firstly read through the specification you wrote last lesson.

Pick five key points that you can use to evaluate your design ideas and write them down.

Generating design ideas

You need to generate four different design ideas for your chosen product.Refer to your research and design brief and situation to help you.Don’t forget to add colour and annotations. Think about: aesthetics, function, ergonomics, cost, materials, target market…

What could you do to make these better?

Evaluation of ideas…

Do your design ideas meet all five of your specification points?

Evaluate: to check carefully or measure how good an idea, design or product is.

Design development – modelling

You need to choose which of your ideas you will develop.Using the card provided make a draft model to test your idea and develop it.

Final design drawing

Think – Pair – Share

What makes a good final design drawing?

Take a photograph of your model and keep it with your work so you can refer to it later in the project.

Model – Evaluation

Evaluate: to check carefully or measure how good an idea, design or product is.
