Investigate

According to the IBO, "Investigation is an essential stage in the design cycle.  Students are expected to identify the problem, develop a design brief and formulate a design specification. Students are expected to acknowledge the sources of information and document these appropriately."

To get a 5-6:  The student explains the problem, discussing its relevance.  The student critically investigates the problem, evaluating information from a broad range of appropriate, acknowledge sources. The student describes detailed methods for appropriate testing to evaluate the product/solution against the design specification.
