Design Brief

Design Brief

10. Write a short statement of what you are going to make, why you are going to make it, and for whom you are making it. I am going to create a mini-experiment that will help them actually connect what they are learning to what they are doing. I decided to do an experiment because it seemed more fun than just sitting the whole time and watching me talk about the Design Cycle. This project is designated to help 6th graders understand what the whole Design Cycle is. They will also learn what each step does in the Design Cycle and how it works. With this the 6th graders would have learned the Design Cycle process. 

Formulate a Design Specification

11. What are the requirements for this assignment?  The requirements for my project are that I have to make the experiment simple, understandable for a 6th grader to get the concept, and make it fun so that they can enjoy the Design Cycle.

12. What are the limitations you have with this assignment? I will show them a flip book so they can see the main points of the Design Cycle. After that they will perform the experiment. I don't want to take to much time in the flip book for they will get bored. I want them to spend more time on the experiment , so they can have fun and actually connect the Design Cycle to the experiment they have just done.

13. How will you "test" your presentation? I will first review with them for a while and then give them 10-15 questions if they answer 8 correct that means they have understood the main points of the Design Cycle.
