Set the Criteria Develop a set of criteria that you must take into account when designing a a table lamp. The lamp must provide light to cover an area 1 metre by 1 metre. Decide on the criteria that you will use to evaluate the design of your table lamp. Compare your criteria with your classmates and decide on a general set of evaluation criteria. Plan your design before you begin construction.
Planning can include a clearly labelled diagram and a set of instructions.
A well thought out plan can save you a great deal of time and prevent wasting resources. Check the plan to make sure you have considered the evaluation criteria. Test and revise your design as you progress to ensure that the final product will meet all of the evaluation criteria and be as good a product as you can make with the resources you have. Evaluate Once you have a finished product, go over the evaluation criteria once more to ensure that all have been met to the best of your ability and resources. Communicate Compare your design with those of your classmates and share your evaluations.
