Abstract WRITE THIS PAGE LAST. A good rule of thumb is to include one sentence from each section: aim, hypothesis, method, results, conclusion and discussion. Then trim the paragraph to 200 words.

Introduction Write your introduction here. Write in point form

Design brief What problem will this technology solve? What are the design constraints? Materials? cost? What are the client's needs? Identify the problem. Is this a problem that you face? Is this a problem faced by friends/family or the community? Why is this a problem?

Teacher approval This project has been assessed and approved by ____________. Any variation to the agreed upon protocol must be discussed with a teacher. The following sections have been completed: 4 prototypes Design brief Safety audit Teacher: ___________     Date ____________ A teacher must approve your project before commencement.

Final design evaluation and justification The final design was chosen because... State 4 reasons

Materials and equipment List quantities, concentrations, brands, models etc. Use SI units

Method Insert photos and videos to aid your explanation

The final design Include a labelled diagram or photo AND a video of the product in use.

Discussion Pros Cons SoWhat?! Discuss 5 pros and 5 cons of the final design. Describe what you’d do differently next time. Pros Cons SoWhat?!

Conclusion Describe 5 ways the final design meets the design brief. Restate your aim and hypothesis. Remember: hypotheses are only ever supported or rejected by the data. Use data (i.e., bring in the numbers or descriptions) to support your conclusions.
