Stage Eight
A number of simple tasks regarding programming using ‘logicator’ software
will be attempted. These will include a traffic lights project. The use of
decision boxes and macros will be emphasised. |
L.
Pupils work through the logicator hand book paying particular attention to
key programming words/phrases.
N.

Stage Nine Evaluating - The pupils will evaluate
the extent to which the product satisfies the design needs - test each
device.
They will suggest any improvements;
Evaluation will also be conducted through regular tests
with prompt sheets.
Homework - complete prompt sheets regarding evaluation:
materials / procedures / techniques / processes; justify improvements to
the original solution; suitability for manufacture; estimate consequences,
including environmental and economic. |
L.
In groups discuss how each project can be improved and write an evaluation.
N.
Mark each project, rank in table form and work out the average. Produce a
graph that shows full range of marks.
ICT.
Use spreadsheet software for the table of results and the graph.
HWK.
Complete the written evaluation, table and graph. |
Select
a suitable product and write an evaluation. Include positive points and
improvements. |
ICT
access. Internet access.
