DESIGN FOLDER -INVESTIGATION

Area of Interaction: Community and Service , Approaches to Learning & Human Ingenuity

Significant Concept: Design Cycle can be used to solve problems

Unit Question: How can my learning help my community? How do I make Sound Choices?

I will explain to a 6^th grader what the design cycle is all about by creating a presentation. 

Since you need the design cycle for almost everything. For example you will need it to build a car. More 6th graders will understand the design cycle and they will be more organized.

I can teach them and explain to them the design cycle.

 We are in the same school so we need to know this so that the school can be a better place.

When i teach the 6th graders the design cycle they will understand it and then they will teach other students. I will blog & post my information instead of putting it in paper.  Design cycle is a procedure that helps you create your project correctly.

There are four parts of the design cycle. The four parts are Investigate,Plan, Create, Design, Evaluate. You follow these steps to make the project well and for it to be correctly. The investigation part you have to research what your project will be about. For Plan you have to actually tell what you are going to do.

I am going to make a rap song explaining the design cycle to the 6th graders. It will be kind of simple and they will get the point.

 The requirements for this assignment is to make three designs and choose the best one.

 The limitations for this part is that I'm not using the music yet just the lyrics.

I will reread the lyrics and I will choose the best of the three. Also I might ask an opinion from my friends. I can also add some music to see which one sounds better.

DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS

It will be simple for the student to understand.

After playing the song for a few times they will understand the design cycle better.

Will be about 2-2:30 minutes long.

Test

I will give a survey and the questions will be about the design cycle. 

Also I will analyze the survey due to the amount of questions answered correctly. 

They should get about 7 or 8 questions right.
