This pupil-friendly study guide includes a unit summary, clear notes, common mistakes, and quick questions with answers.
Unit Summary
Pupils learn about biomimicry and innovation. They will learn how to use sources of inspiration to create a range of ideas for a product encouraging children to grow vegetables. The pupils will develop ideas and manufacture a prototype. Variation allows for different material outcomes.
Lesson Summary
You will learn to gather user feedback to evaluate your manufactured prototype.
Key Notes
- Designers gather user feedback to iterate prototypes.
- Designers analyse the user feedback to iterate prototypes.
Vocabulary To Learn
- iterate: process of refining and improving a design
- evaluation: checking how good something is and how to make it better
- analysis: examining something in detail
Common Mistakes To Avoid
- Once a final product is complete no further iterations or improvements are needed.
3 Quick Questions (With Answers)
1. Explain the lesson in two key points.
