Investigate and research: High profile event
Downloads can take a few minutes, especially for larger files or slower connections.
Why this why now
Knowledge of different research methods and the techniques to analyse the data collected is important for effective design. Pupils have knowledge of research from prior units, such as the Year 8 'Ergonomic controllers' and the Year 9 ' New parents'. The knowledge of an increasing range of research strategies learnt here will prepare pupils for independent selection of the most appropriate methods in subsequent iterative design units.
Prior knowledge requirements
- Pupils can identify users needs and wants.
- Pupils can use and justify the chosen research techniques.
- Pupils can identify the desirable material properties for a design.
- Pupils can identify the data needed and gather this.
- Pupils can analyse data.

Investigate and research: High profile event
Pupils will identify a client and investigate the client's needs and wants. They will use and develop different research techniques. They will learn about the economic viability of designs to design a product for a high-profile event.
