Year 11, let's begin again.

The third step of the Investigation is 3. Formulate a Design Specification.

The IBO defines Design Specification as: A detailed description of the conditions, requirements and restrictions with which a design must comply. This is a precise and accurate list of facts such as conditions, dimensions, materials, process and methods that are important for the designer and for the user. All appropriate solutions will need to comply with the design specification.

To get a 5/6 the student: describes detailed methods for appropriate testing to evaluate the product/solution against the design specification.

Your task is to create a detailed list of design specifications and justify your choice.  Then create tests to evaluate your product.

If you have finished your Investigation I suggest that you familiarize yourself with the tool that you will ultimately use. In other words, please do a tutorial to help you be able to use the programme you chose to its fullest potential;-)

Your Investigation is due at the end of class on Friday, October 12.
IB Learner Profile: Inquirer
