Year 8 Clock Project Design & Technology Design Brief You are to design & make a 3D clock that is aesthetically pleasing and could be sold to a specific market. As a guide for the design of your clock you should work within the following constraints. You must: - make use of the motor provided. -use a minimum of two colours of acrylic, and two layers. - identify a mass production technique that could be used to produce at least one component of your design. -ensure that your clock is capable of being packaged in a box 200 x 200 x 50 -the clock will be on a set theme decided by your teacher. On this page produce a detailed bubble diagram of the key words and ideas which you think are relevant to the project. When you have read this, please delete it to allow maximum space on the page for your work NAME

Year 8 Clock Project Design & Technology SPECIFICATION You should aim to produce at least 6 points for the Specification. Please write your points out fully in sentences. Specification In the space below make a list of points which you feel your design must follow if it is to be successful NAME

Year 8 Clock Project – Movement Data Design & Technology Fixing point for hands Battery compartment - Single AA 1.5v All dimensions in mm. The mechanism is attached to the clock face via a screw down bezel, which fits through a 10.5 mm hole drilled in the clock face and clamps the mechanism in position. Bezel

Year 8 Clock Project Design & Technology RESEARCH Use this sheet to research and identify a range of existing products and your thoughts about them. Delete this information when you have read it to allow maximum space for the work NAME

Year 8 Clock Project Design & Technology INITIAL IDEAS Use this sheet to draw and colour using pencil, a range of ideas for your clock design. Your sketches should include annotation and clear labelling (in pen). When you have read this information, delete it and print off A3 size NAME

Year 8 Clock Project Design & Technology EVALUATION OF IDEAS & DEVELOPMENT Use the this sheet to develop and finalise your chosen design. You should try to include as much detail as possible on materials, manufacturing processes, methods of joining and assembly. Again, remember to use comments and labels to explain your drawings. Evaluation of Ideas In the space below explain why you have chosen this design above the others. Remember to make reference to your specification. NAME

Year 8 Clock Project Design & Technology WORKING DRAWING You are to produce an accurate full size front view of your final design using 2D Design CAD software. Your drawing should be in black and white only. This drawing should be made as if the individual pieces are ‘see through’. This drawing should be dimensioned. If you have time you may produce an additional coloured drawing.

Year 8 Clock Project Design & Technology EVALUATION NAME

Year 8 Clock Project – Evaluation Guidelines Design & Technology Evaluation Being able to evaluate your work and personal performance is a key skill in Design & Technology. It allows you to take a step back and look at what you have achieved and to decide what you did well and what you could improve upon. This makes evaluation particularly useful as a means of improving your work and performance in the next project you undertake. In order for your evaluation to be useful there are several key areas you need to cover. ☻ Does your product look/function as intended? ☻ Have you made any changes to the design as a result of problems that occurred during manufacture and could these have been avoided? ☻ Which aspect of the project did you find most challenging/rewarding and why? ☻ If you could go back and make changes to your design what would you change and why? ☻ Have you asked anyone else there opinion about you product? If so what did they say? How to lay out your evaluation ☻ Be aware that your work is marked not just on its contents but on its presentation as well. ☻ Where appropriate use diagrams and sketches to illustrate your points. This is especially appropriate when you are showing changes to your design. ☻ The best means of presenting an idea is through a combination of text (annotation) and graphics. ☻ Use headings and sub headings to divide your evaluation up into easy to understand sections which relate to the points mentioned above. ☻ Remember that there is always room for improvement and that your first attempt, however good, is a prototype and not a saleable product.
