Create - Criterion C Maximum 6

1.Produce a simple instruction sheet for use by the rescuer/person in distress,

2.Produce a presentation explaining how your system works. (You might want to include the instruction sheet. An image depicting the system would be helpful).

Learning objective: utilize appropriate software, make appropriate choices of materials.

Year 10 - it all starts with a plan;-) Plan - Criterion C Maximum 6 points

According to MYP Technology, "Students are expected to construct a plan to create their chosen product/solution that has a series of logical steps, and that makes effective use of resources and time.

Students are expected to evaluate the plan and justify any modifications to the design."

To get a 5/6: The student produces a plan that contains a number of detailed, logical steps that describe the student's learning path and decisions made. The student critically evaluates the plan and justifies any modifications to the design.

According to our Unit of Work: Plan

· Produce a flowchart to show the stages and decision processes in the development of your system

Your task is to use Visio 2007 to create a flowchart.
- Use your Investigation as a guide and look at each question (area of research) you researched.
- Include info about the general topic in a process box. Then, include a box that shows what you learned.
-Use a Decision box to denote any conclusions you have drawn. - Sometimes you will make more than one decision as your research progresses. In this case, include 2 Decision boxes and look at each decision separately.
-Include decisions you made about your design specifications as well as your product and system.



To get a 5/6: The student produces a plan that contains a number of detailed, logical steps that describe the student's learning path and decisions made.

Learning objectives:
1. construct a flowchart using Microsoft Office Visio 2007,
2. construct a flowchart to show the stages and decisions made to develop the system.

DESIGN - Criterion B - Maximum 6

Remember this is your Design Brief:
Create a new method of communication that could be used by beach guards or the general public. The system should be cheap to produce, easy to learn but complex enough to communicate a range of instructions. The system can be visual, audible, sensory, or a combination of these.

This is from the Unit of Work:
Design
· Design 3 different possibilities
· Decide if a 2-Way system is worth the extra time and expense to develop and justify your choice


According to the IBO: DESIGN

Students are expected to generate several feasible designs that meet the design specification and to evaluate these against the design specification.

Students are then expected to select one design, justify their choice and evaluate this in detail against the design specification.

To get a 5/6: The student generates a range of feasible designs, each evaluated against the design specification. The student justifies the chosen design and evaluates it fully and critically against the design specification.

Learning objectives: generate 3 feasible designs that meet the design specification, evaluate each design against the design specification, select one design and justify its choice.
