You will also learn many new words and technical terms associated with Design and Technology during this project. These are listed below with definitions:

Analysis – Examine the problem in greater depth

Brittle – A material than can ‘snap’ or break easily when a force is applied in a specific direction

Crating – A lightly sketched shape (usually a rectangle with at least 1 centre line) to aid sketching

Annotation – Describing and explaining something that you are analysing

Isometric – An angled drawing, diagonal lines at 30 and 60 degrees, to aid communication in 3D

Perspective Drawing – A 3 Dimensional drawing with lines that join to a Vanishing Point
