DESIGN BRIEF Your task is to design and build a product that will attract and feed birds. It must be able to hold water and at least two different types of bird food. You must use at least two recycled materials in the production of your product. Your product must be easily moved from one location to another. CSFII LEVELS Level: 5 KLA: Technology Strand: Materials Learning Outcome: 5.2 Justify, develop and implement design ideas, using some complex equipment and processes, and evaluate the efficiency of the processes used. Indicators: Apply the technology process independently, in a sequential and non-sequential way Generate and justify design ideas and prepare detailed drawings and procedural plans for preferred options Demonstrate increasing independence in the use of a range of tools, equipment and machines, including some complex equipment, to implement the preferred option Take appropriate safety precautions when using tools, equipment and machines Evaluate the efficiency of the processes used and suggest how they could be improved MODIFICATIONS FOR OTHER CSFII LEVELS INVESTIGATION At level 5 investigation involves: Students examining familiar products, tracing the origins of the products and identifying the materials and processes used. The Internet and other sources can be used to research changes that have occurred in products. (Technology CSFII 2000, p.38) Research: To help me with ideas for my design I decided to research similar products that already exist. Websites I visited were: http://www.osweb.com/kidzkorner/feeder.htm http://www.wbu.com/prod/fdr.htm http://www.shop-nc.com/DB/bird_feeder.htm I also came up with the following questions that when answered, influenced the design of my product. What recycled materials could I possibly use to make my product? Consideration: Materials must be durable and able to be left outside withstanding all weather conditions. Brainstorm of ideas: Milk Cartons Foil pie trays Plastic Milk Bottles Old Coat Hangers Bottle Lids String Jars Wood Off Cuts Tin Cans Fencing Wire Plastic Soft Drink Bottles Corrugated Iron Margarine Containers What types of food will my product need to hold to attract birds? I visited a variety of bird websites to come up with the following list of ideas: Bird Seed Bread Pieces of Fruit Orange Juice Nectar Water Honey Pop Corn Peanut Butter DESIGN At level 5 design involves: Students’ preparing detailed design proposals.
