Manufacturing grain products: assessment

Years 3–4

DMS2.8 Develops, implements and evaluates ideas using drawings, models and prototypes at appropriate stages of the design process.

Works collaboratively to generate ideas for simple products, systems and environments.
Reflects on design ideas for simple products, systems and environments, and suggests improvements.
Communicates ideas through annotated sketches and models and uses scale in drawings and models.
Describes how materials, equipment and resources have been used to produce products, systems and environments.
Works collaboratively to plan and sequence major steps in design and production.
Suggests how design processes could be improved to produce better results.

PSS2.5 Creates and evaluates products and services considering aesthetic and functional factors.

Services are systems that provide for people's needs.
People have different work roles in the processes of designing and manufacturing products and providing services.
There are established techniques for drawing products, such as scale, front view, top view, and for representing systems, such as organisational diagrams and flow charts.
There are established techniques for making products in large numbers (mass production).

Assessment will be on the following aspects of the task		The following qualities will be present in the student's work
Observation on production day Each group will be observed on the production day on:
understanding the steps in the design of the production process		Explains how the design meets the criteria for success. Flowchart is annotated and shows steps of the production process.
awareness of safety and hygiene rules		Students work safely and hygienically.
Analysis of student documentation in their design folders.		Suggests changes to improve the production model. Makes suggestions about how their design process and production model could be improved.
