Name _____________ Social, Moral and Environmental Issues ANSWERS Explain each of the 6 Rs below: (6marks) 1.Reduce the amount of materials used. Ie. Packaging 2.Recycle products into new products 3.Repair old products instead of putting them in landfill 4.Re-Think about if we need certain products and how we can make them better for the environment. 5.Reuse old products for another use. 6.Refuse products that are bad for the environment. Give an example of two moral issues that manufacturers need to consider? (2marks) Health and safety of workers Fair pay of workers Global warming and carbon emissions Reduction of waste they produce Explain why the maintenance of products is important for consumers and the environment? (4marks) Less waste materials go to landfill Less raw materials are needed to make new products Less energy needed to convert raw materials into useable products Better value for money for consumers Discuss the life cycle and environmental impact of using plastic to make products? (4marks) Oil is a non renewable resource and raw material Lots of energy require to convert oil to plastic Some plastics are non-recyclable Plastics do not biodegrade very well Explain why wood is considered a sustainable material? (4marks) Trees are a renewable resource and raw material Less energy is needed to convert trees into useable planks of wood Wood is biodegrade Trees give out oxygen which id good for the plant Trees store carbon dioxide which is bad for the planet

Name _____________ Product Analysis ANSWERS What does ergonomics mean (2marks) When a product is made to be: Safe, comfortable and easy to use. What does anthropometrics mean ? (2marks) This is to do with all the different sizes of the human body. Anthropometric data is used to make ergonomic products such as chairs, irons, bicycles (anything that is used by human beings). State four ergonomic features of the x-box controller below giving an explanation for each point. (8 marks) 1. Shape of the pad makes it comfortable to hold. Fits the palms of the hand. 2. Positions of the buttons. The thumb can access all buttons quickly 3. Rubber buttons. Better grip when being used and more comfortable. 4. Different coloured buttons. Make the pad easier to use especially when learning a new game. 5. Wireless A safer gaming experience as you can not trip on the wires. Also easier to store the pads when not in use.
