SUSTAINABLE SHOEBOX PACKAGES

(MYP3 Crit)

Key concept: Systems

Related concept(s): Adaptation and Form

Global context: Globalization and Sustainability

Statement of inquiry:

Due to our impact on the environment, we need to adapt the forms and systems of human consumption.

ATL Statement:

In order for students to complete Criterion D i. describe detailed and relevant testing methods, which generate accurate data, to measure the success of the solution ; they must apply skills and knowledge in unfamiliar situations by determining which types of tests would be needed to test the strength, durability, ergonomics, size, sustainability, or functionality of the final package design. By considering this, they will create five tests which measure how well the final design was able to protect the shoes and keep them from getting separated while being more sustainable.

Product Design – Sustainable Shoebox Packages: Students will develop a new and bespoke design for shoebox packaging. The resulting packages will use one of the following sustainable strategies: Right-sizing: reducing the amount of cardboard typically used in a shoebox package. Light-weighting: changing the material to one that weighs dramatically less to cut down on emissions. Re-usability: creating a design that could be kept for another purpose after it was done being a shoebox.

IMPORTANT:

•Create a Google Doc (with editing rights) and share it with your teacher. Please format your folio using: File, Page Set Up then A4. All margins: Top, Bottom Left and Right should be set at 1

• Size 12 text (headings and subheadings can be slightly larger)

• Ariel style of text (excluding Works Cited)

• 1.5 spacing (excluding text inside Tables)

• Prepare a front cover which includes your full name, class, teacher's name, Unit title, Key Concept, Related Concept(s), Global Context, Statement of Inquiry and photo(s) related to the Unit

• Prepare an Index and Appendix page for each Crit

• Prepare a cover for each of the 4 stages in the Design Cycle

• Subheadings in each Criterion (A, B, C & D) should be the Strand wording

• Black text

• Include a header and footer

• Use MLA 8 Citations and Easybib (Times New Roman) use hanging indents

• Where you read (REQUIRED) in the instructions for each Strand this is the subheading to be used. DO NOT INCLUDE THE WORD (REQUIRED)

• REMEMBER IT'S QUALITY NOT QUANTITY AND AVOID LEAVING EMPTY BLANK SPACES ON A PAGE

Note: When you are completing your written folio I actively encourage you to include (within your text) hyperlinks to relevant areas on the Internet which link into the area you are studying.

Example: I am gong to design and make a security device for a four bedroom house which has sensors attached to all windows and doors. This device will address the problem of house break-ins within the country.
