This pupil-friendly study guide includes a unit summary, clear notes, common mistakes, and quick questions with answers.
Unit Summary
In this unit pupils will discover how computers can be used to produce 3D models. They will experience working in a 3D space, moving, resizing, and duplicating objects. They will then create hollow objects using placeholders and combine multiple objects to create a model of a desk tidy.
Lesson Summary
You will learn to create your own 3D model and make suggestions on how it could be improved.
Key Notes
- Evaluating a design and gathering feedback can identify potential improvements.
- Feedback can be used to implement improvements and make modifications to a design.
Vocabulary To Learn
- construct: to build or make something
- evaluate: judge the quality of something and suggest improvements
- modify: make changes
Common Mistakes To Avoid
- Feedback is useful because people can tell you what you have done wrong and correct it for you.
3 Quick Questions (With Answers)
1. Describe the system or process from this lesson in clear steps.
Evaluating a design and gathering feedback can identify potential improvements. Feedback can be used to implement improvements and make modifications to a design.
2. Define this computing term and give one practical example. 'construct'
to build or make something. Add one real device or system example to prove understanding.
3. Correct this common computing misconception.
Mistake: Feedback is useful because people can tell you what you have done wrong and correct it for you. Correction: Feedback is useful because people might raise your confidence by complimenting your hard work and they might be able to highlight improvements that you had not thought about.
