DT - Yr 8 Structures - Architecture - ACCESS FM – (EXAM PREP)

Year 8 Design and Technology Structures / Architecture – End of Term / Unit Exam Prep.

This document is to be used in conjunction with the other files produced in this body of work.

This handy file details what ACCESS FM means and how it should be used to answer an evaluation question within any form of product design.

Each letter is given its own heading and a series of questions can be chosen to easily obtain the relevant marks for an evaluation question.

ACCEESS FM = Aesthetics, Client, Cost, Ergonomics, Environment, Size, Safety, Function and Material.

Evaluation questions can be completed in a number of ways. Each of my students has access to this file, but I also project it onto my smart board. Students can either work through the questions individually or in groups, whether it be as a written task, a spoken task or a group mind map activity.
