Multiple Choice

What is meant by "real-world problem"?

• a problem that is the easiest and simplest to solve

• a problem that exists in the real world, affect a specific audience, and apply to a specific context/setting

• a problem that allows students to experiment and apply all of their knowledge

• a problem that only applies in educational contexts so students can show their understanding of topics

Multiple Choice

The first step in a design project is to highlight the problem by...

• Writing a driving question

• Researching the topic surrounding the problem in great detail

• Recording as many ideas of solutions as you can

• Writing a list of all the resources you will need for the project

Multiple Choice

What is a design brief?

• a document that solves the problem that is outlined

• a document makes designing a brief problem

• a document that turns problems into brief designs

• a document that outlines the problem that needs to be solved

Multiple Choice

When completing research for a design project, it is important to:

• use a wide range of credible sources

• always record and acknowledge your sources

• ensure that you express ideas in your own words

• all of the above

Multiple Select

Select all recommended ways of saving a digital record of all your work for a project in Tech at school:

• Saving your work on Google Drive

• Recording all your findings, ideas and work in your class OneNote

• Sending an email copy of your work to your friend to keep

• Ensuring your work is backed up on your computer or hard drive

• Writing all important details into an exercise book

Multiple Choice

What process should be taken to select the most appropriate idea for a design project?

• Brainstorming a range of ideas, and checking them against the design brief, choosing the idea that best fits the brief

• Coming up with multiple ideas, checking the different ideas with your classmates, and choosing the idea that gets the most votes

• Creating a list of ideas, and evaluating the level of difficulty of each idea, choosing the one that is the simplest to create

• Researching different ideas, and choosing the first idea that you like

Multiple Choice

Before making the design solution, you should:

• Survey a large group of people to check that the idea is a good one

• Create a plan, thinking about the resources required and the order of tasks to be completed

• Come up with a back-up plan, in case the chosen idea does not work out

• Gather all the materials you need to create the design solution

Multiple Choice

Why should you create prototypes and test your design solution throughout the project?

• It provides the target audience with constant previews to the proposed solution, so they are more likely to approve it at the end

• It provides an opportunity to add extra features that weren't originally part of the plan

• It makes the design process more interactive and enjoyable

• It provides opportunities to evaluate the solution, pick up any faults, and make necessary changes and improvements

Multiple Choice

When you have completed a code for a design solution, it is important to evaluate your code by:

• evaluating the process of coding and how difficult you found it

• evaluating the written code and the software and language used

• evaluating the written code and the result it produced

• evaluating the results and the quality of hardware used

Multiple Select

Select all appropriate methods for using and collecting real-world data and information for a project

• Conducting research online on specific topics related to the problem

• Collecting and recording data of specific contexts and situations related to the problem, over time

• Conducting surveys and questionnaires, and recording responses from various people

Multiple Choice

What is needed to effectively create and evaluate ideas for solutions to real-world problems?

• Brainstorming, then choosing the most fun and exciting ideas

• Researching, brainstorming, collecting and using real-world information and data

• Using ideas from a number of people and putting them all together

• Researching existing real-world solutions and using that as your idea
