- This project is a ‘Focused Practical Task’ introducing Polymers as a new material area
- Tools and equipment used for working with Thermoplastics, in particular acrylic, will be introduced alongside new processes including cutting, filing and polishing polymers, and moulding polymers and using the strip heater
- The use of templates and jigs for accuracy will also be explored
- Pupils will look at how to communicate the steps of making the product in a logical sequence with illustrations and explanations
- Assessment is holistic and ongoing throughout the design, make, and evaluation work with a final summative assessment of the product at the end
|
- The aim of the main project is to design and make a fully functioning USB colour changing mood light
- Pupils will learn about electronic components and how to assemble a working electronic circuit
- Pupils will explore what is meant by classic and iconic design and apply their understanding of designing methods to design a personalised case for the light circuit using Computer Aided Design
- Pupils will learn how to test prototypes by using soft modelling techniques in order to further develop their ideas
- Pupils will further develop their analysis and evaluation skills
- Assessment is holistic and ongoing throughout the design, make, and evaluation work with a final summative assessment of the product at the end
