Critically evaluate the end product

Design and technology

Reactions (Control in D&T)

Use of equipment that may require supervision for safety, eg. scissors, needles, paint, knives

We compared our end product to the design specification by testing it and identified what the advantages and disadvantages were.

We compared our end product to the initial ideas.

How did we test and evaluate our final prototype?

To check it against the design specification points by gathering feedback off users to see if it met all of the key points and identify what key improvements could be made.

Why did we test and evaluate our final prototype?

What key components could we change to improve how the electrical system functions?

We could change how the user recycles the waste.

We could change the type of sensor that we use.

What could we do to change how the user interacts with the product? (Tick 2 boxes)

A microprocessor is a component that is used to make a simple circuit

A microprocessor is a very small personal computer.

A microprocessor is an integrated circuit that contains all the functions of a central processing unit of a computer. It can be programmed to support the control of key electronic components.

We used a microprocessor for developing the electrical system, what is a microprocessor?

A list of specific points to describe how a product will look and function.

We may create more sketches of the product.

We will compare the product to our initial ideas.

We will test to see if it works by comparing it to our design specification.

How might we test and evaluate the product?
