Why is a solar phone charger considered sustainable?
Because it uses energy from the sun, which is a renewable resource.
Because it can only be used once and then thrown away.
Because it needs batteries that have to be replaced often.
Because it works better at night when there is no sunlight.
A solar oven uses __________ from the sun, showing how __________ energy can cook food. This design is an example of using __________ resources without causing harm to the environment. (a) (b) (c)
Why are aesthetics important in design?
Because they make the product heavier and harder to use.
Because they ensure the product works correctly.
Because they make the product look attractive and appealing.
Because they make the product more expensive to produce.
Why are prototypes important in design?
Because they help test and improve ideas before making the final product.
Because they are the final version of the product.
Because they are only used for decoration.
Because they make the design process faster and easier without testing.
How can testing a prototype help with the final product?
By skipping the need for a final product.
By making the prototype the final product.
By finding and fixing problems before the final product is made.
By making the final product more expensive to produce.
What factors need to be considered when designing something?
The designer's favourite colour.
Just the materials used.
Only how the product looks.
Function, aesthetics, materials, cost and community need.
Label each phase of the Design Process.
Generate & Design
Investigate & Define
Evaluate
Produce & Implement
Why is it important that the design process keeps going in a cycle?
Because it means the project is never done.
Because it helps improve and fix the design based on feedback.

Why do we need to think about renewable and non-renewable energy when designing?
Because renewable energy is always cheaper to use.
Because it makes the design process more expensive.
Because it helps us create designs that are better for the environment.
Because non-renewable energy is unlimited.
Why is evaluation essential in the design process?
Because it makes the design process longer.
Because it helps identify what works well and what needs improvement.
Because it allows you to skip testing.
Because it guarantees the design will never change.
Look at this simple electric circuit.
Why won’t this bulb light up?
The bulb is broken.
The battery is too powerful for the bulb.
The switch is open, so the circuit is not complete.
The circuit needs more wires.
Where can circuits like these be found in real life?
