We know this when the learner:

1.2 finds out about existing products relevant to a problem, need or opportunity, and identifies and compares their design aspects (e.g. who it is for, what it is for, what it looks like, what it is made of, how well it works, whether it will affect the environment);

1.3 performs, where appropriate, scientific investigations about concepts relevant to a problem, need or opportunity using science process skills;

1.4 writes or communicates a design brief for the development of a product related to a given problem, need or opportunity that clarifies the technological purposes of the solution;

1.5 suggests and records at least two alternative solutions to the problem, need or opportunity that link clearly to the design brief and to given specifications and constraints (e.g. people, purpose, safety, environmental impact, appearance);

1.7 develops plans that detail the making steps, including drawings and sketches that help to clarify the plans;

1.8 chooses and uses suitable tools to make products by measuring, marking out, cutting or separating, shaping or forming, joining or combining, and finishing the chosen materials;

1.10 evaluates the product according to the design brief and given specifications and constraints (e.g. people, purpose, environmental impact, safety, appearance), and suggests improvements and modifications if necessary;

1.11 evaluates the plan of action followed and suggests improvements and modifications if necessary;

1.12 draws appropriate sketches (e.g. labelled two-dimensional drawings of ideas, enhanced drawings of final solutions and drawings showing measurements) to communicate different information appropriately and effectively.

LO 2

TECHNOLOGICAL KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING

The learner will be able to understand and apply relevant technological knowledge ethically and

We know this when the learner:

2.2 demonstrates knowledge and understanding of the reasons for the deterioration of different materials, and ways of preserving them (e.g. drying, coating, canning, sealing).

LO 3

TECHNOLOGY, SOCIETY AND THE ENVIRONMENT

The learner will be able to demonstrate an understanding of the interrelationships between science, technology, society and the environment.

We know this when the learner:

3.1 describes similarities in problems and solutions in own and other societies – past, present and future;

3.2 suggests ways to improve technological products or processes to minimise negative effects on people and/or the health of the environment.

Memorandum

(b) Learners’ own ideas.

(c)

1. own ideas and illustrations.

2. own choice.

3. own sketches.

  1. 2

(a) It prevents messing on your clothes.

(b) To allow warm bread to cool down.

(c) Not airtight – preferably in paper while it is still warm, otherwise it becomes “sweaty” and becomes stale sooner. If you want to preserve it for a long time, freeze it.
