  2. Task Analysis

  3. Analysis of the task is an opportunity to consider a wide range of factors that will influence the solution to the brief and will gives lots of possible areas for research and investigation; • write down the selected controlled assessment task and context and then analyse it tend to be more successful with their project. the critical factor is that there are questions being asked at most times, which identify a range of areas for research and investigation. • the ideal project is when a candidate approaches it without knowing the solution and the answer is developed from independent thinking • An example of good practice is to highlight the important criteria of a word web, after the blue sky thinking, to sift out the irrelevant factors

  4. Product Analysis

  5. Candidates should be looking for features that will help them with their design decisions – types of input, output, size, colour, shape; • investigate similar products, identify inputs and outputs, examine ‘case designs’ that fit in with their design ideas • should be asking and looking for answers to are ‘what switch did that product use, what was the quality of the material they used which made it suitable?’

  6. Design Specification

  7. ACCESSFM • ‘ACCESSFM’ – aesthetics, cost, customer, environment, safety, size, function, maintenance, materials and manufacturing

  8. Identifying the needs generated by the analysis can similarly be achieved by using another acronym ‘SMART’ – specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and time bound. • Examples are statements of qualities of material where you are looking for a material which is a non-conductor, waterproof, impact proof and self coloured’ or a measurable quality is the maximum size or weight of the product, how loud the audible output will be (in decibels), the distance from which it can be heard.

  9. System Analysis

  10. Case Designs

  11. Annotation/explanation that shows candidates enthusiasm/ownership of the project; it explains what will/could go where and why, it’s inventive/creative Candidates show development of the ‘case’ through initial sketch ideas and 3-D modelling; • the manufacturing specification, should try to provide enough information for a competent 3rd party to be able to make the product; this could be conveyed successfully through a formal drawing, sketch or CAD, with measurements and a plan of making. • Hand drawn sketches of ideas are just as effective as those which are generated CAD generated; • it is the creativity, ingenuity, imagination and information that is shown that is the most important factor.

  12. This Section should be used to record the step by step production of your product. Refer back to the planning flow chart and compare actual time with predicted time Photographs should be taken at important stages. Any changes that are made from you final design should be commented upon with the reasons why Production Diary Mr Tierney Chaucer Technology School GCSE Resistant Materials 13/14

  13. To access the higher grades you must produce a “Wide range of ideas” which means a minimum of 10 different sketches. Keep pages busy try to put as many ideas as you can per sheet Design Ideas Each Sketch should be 3D, coloured in, and a brief explanation saying what it is and what you think about it. Use a fine-liner to go over the edges of your sketches, The more sketches you have the better, include rough sketches aswel, shows how you developed your design Mr Tierney Chaucer Technology School GCSE Resistant Materials 13/14

  14. Development 1 Using Isometric techniques Redraw your chosen idea and label, you must have made changes from your initial ideas. You should be commenting on the following. On this page you will need to select one or more of your ideas from the previous section and state why. This should be done in a brief paragraph at the top of the page. • Shape • Colour • Materials • Sizes • Processes • Changes • Joining methods • Finishes • H&S • Construction details Mr Tierney Chaucer Technology School GCSE Resistant Materials 13/14

  15. Industrial Practices & Systems & Control • In the real world most products are required in large quantities… • On this sheet explain how you would modify your product if you needed to make a batch of FIFTY • You must not regard this as a separate section of the folder • You must refer to this area throughout the folder, especially in the development section • For example: • If I were to make a batch of fifty, I would: Use a template to mark out the sides Use a jig to drill all the holes in the correct places in the sides to ensure accuracy & save time I would use a router with a special cutter to make up a batch of doors quickly • (Use sketches/pictures of fittings or processes to illustrate this section) Mr Tierney Chaucer Technology School GCSE Resistant Materials 13/14

  16. Evaluation, Testing & Modification • You must explain & justify all modifications & changes to your original idea…. • Compare your finished product closely to your SPECIFICATION… (a good idea is to copy your specification into the evaluation the below each point say whether you have satisfied it or not in a different colour) • Include EVIDENCE that you have TESTED your product (e.g. if a toy give to a child to play with photograph and get feedback from the parents) • Evaluate your project at the conclusion • Include EVIDENCE that you have tried to find out what the users of your product think about it… • Show your product to three or four classmates and write down the feedback, get them to look at the function, and finish. • Key questions • What went well, what could be done better, what would you do differently if you were to do it again, what modifications could you make?

  17. Planning of Manufacture To complete this section quickly and effectively it is best to use a flow diagram to show event and checks Use a timeline showing what you plan to complete each week. Key Start/End No Check Yes Example Start Task Flow Cut Base ¼ Lesson To achieve better marks it is best to include a timeframe for production. Remember the make should take approx 25 Hrs No Is it correct 5 Mins Yes Mr Tierney Chaucer Technology School GCSE Resistant Materials 13/14

  18. Development 2 Draw a scaled exploded diagram of your product to show in detail your chosen construction method justify why and if needed do addition research to find out about it. i.e. if you choose to use a dovetail joint draw it and explain how to do it and why. Fully label each individual part ready for the cutting list Mr Tierney Chaucer Technology School GCSE Resistant Materials 13/14

  19. Development 4 On this page include any Cad drawings you have generated for your design. Copy & Paste, and explain what the piece is for and why Mr Tierney Chaucer Technology School GCSE Resistant Materials 13/14
