Storage Solution
There are no Work Samples available for this Activity.
Description of activity
Students collaboratively design and produce a functional and innovative storage solution for a teacher-identified scenario. They manage the process of development and use of the solution, and evaluate its effectiveness in response to the requirements of the activity. The suggested duration is 4-5 lessons (160 minutes).
Context
Students in Stage 5 have explored the steps in the design process and have had some experience in collaborative activities. This activity is an introductory stimulus to the unit of work where students will be encouraged to think about the properties of storage devices in relation to their purpose.
Areas for Assessment
Outcomes
A student:
5.1.1 analyses and applies a range of design concepts and processes
5.4.1 develops and evaluates innovative, enterprising and creative design ideas and solutions
5.6.1 selects and applies management strategies when developing design solutions.
Criteria for assessing learning
(These criteria would normally be communicated to students with the activity.)
Students will be assessed on their ability to:
- design and produce a functional solution that is innovative and appropriate to the need
- employ collaborative design practices and manage the process of design development
- evaluate the design solution in relation to the identified need.
