Keeping you busy over summer...
There are 3 areas to focus on over the summer:
> subject knowledge/ content (on the SIL document and set as sn assignment on teams)
> Completing unfinished work
> Design ideas for your NEA - see below
Work through all of the key terms on the sheet and complete a paragraph to explain each on them. Ensure your explanation includes an example and is in context - see example on sheet.
This has been set as a teams assignment
Anything upto and including your 10 design ideas miust be complete before we return after summer. You must ensure your NEA is up to date.
Creating your design ideas: (as discussed in lesson)
Start off with 10 'quick' design ideas (minimum)
Look at each of your 10 and take them to the next level to create 10 detailed design ideas.
Use the info on the design ideas section to guide you.
Environmental case study
Focussing on a chosen product, create a thorough case study on it.
unlike A product analysis where you focus more on the product itself, A case study should focus more on the impact it has on people and the planet. Dig deep and look into all aspects of the product from raw material extraction through to transportation and energy use. your research/ investigations should be layered and instigate further research/ investigations.
You can find support for this here:
This case study should be completed as a written report and is expected to be at 3 sides text with additional images.

Have a great summer.
GooD luck and I look forward to seeing back after the summer.
