How to do strand 3 

​

In strand 3 of Criterion C you need to prove that you have followed your plans.  Remember your plans include your manufacturing plan (Crit C strand 1) and also your planning drawings (Crit B strand 2).  In order to effectively follow your plans you need to ensure that you have your plans available during the creation stages.  This means printing the plans that you have created and storing them safely during the prototyping stages (and referring to them)

 

 

 

 

 

 

You will also be assessed on how well you have created the final prototype or product.  If you have made a prototype that functions as intended then you should include plenty of photographs of it to show the assessor that you have followed the plan and actually created the product.  

 

Self assessment.  You can also write a paragraph which outlines how you followed your plan.... did you need lot's of help from the teacher?  Did your plans provide you with enough detail?    

 

  

If you have ever build a lego model, or

made airfix models then you will have 

followed a plan.  Maybe you have 

helped your parents to build flat packed 

furniture from Ikea?  This is an example

of how you can follow a plan to create 

the solution which should work as 

intended!
