Development Research

You need to look at different materials, their properties and how they might be used in your project.

This information can then be used with your design developments.

Material Research

You can use this Google Drawing template linked here to collect information about specific materials that you might use in your design ideas. You need to collect information about a few different materials so you might want to transfer this onto a presentation so you can have a different material on each slide.

Key Points

You could use some of these words in your analysis of the materials.

strength, ability to be cut and folded, ability to be printed onto, heat sensitivity, grip, cost, durability, action with water, weight, construction, flexibility, methods, surface finish, strength, texture, surface finish, colour options,

Construction Method Research

Use this Google Drawing Template to collect information about construction methods that would be suitable for the materials that you have been looking at for your product. You could also do this work on a slide presentation if you prefer.

Key Points

You could use some of these words in your analysis of the construction methods.

cost, durability, strength, safety, hard wearing, process, same material, different materials, method, cast, cut, mould, join, combine

Ergonomics Research

Use this Google Drawing Template to collect information about ergonomics and how people use designs. You could also do this work on a slide presentation if you prefer.

Key Points

You could use some of these words in your analysis of ergonomic information.

size, pressure, weight, scale, proportion, texture, durability, ease of cleaning, grip, hold,
