Year 7 the Investigation has 3 steps:

1. Identify The Problem.  This is the part of the project in which you state: the problem, why we are doing this project, how you will solve the problem, who your product is for and connect your project to an area of interaction.
2. Develop A Design Brief.  This is the part of the project where you conduct research which will help you solve your problem. You always reference your research.
3. Formulate A Design Specification.  This is the part of the project that you say what characteristics your final product will have.  You also create tests to evaluate your product.

Learning objective - The student will: understand the concept of a design brief and adapt a given design brief to the problem or, with guidance, start to develop a design brief. Students will (A3) ask useful questions about the investigation and (A6) understand the importance of questioning the value of sources of information.
