ACCESS FM Product Analysis Project
Alessi Themed KS3 Project
Inspire your students & deliver product analysis lessons with style!
Students develop understanding of product analysis & improve their creative design skills whilst progressing through the 5 structured tasks:
1+2 Research & analyse a range of Alessi products3 Use ‘ACCESS FM’ for a detailed analysis of a chosen Alessi product
4 Compare similar products on the market
5 Create own product specification – great starting point for a focused 'design & make' task
The products used for the analysis are unusual and interesting so provide mixed and varied responses
- Cross referenced to the 2008 National Curriculum
- Perfect for your VLE!
- Visual PowerPoint with guidance, links & exemplar work
- Worksheets included to help students carry out there analysis & present their work
What do teachers say about this resource? (3423)
Good quality and accessible for pupils. Always useful to have worksheets even if you wish to customise them slightly... The products used for the analysis are unusual and interesting so provide mixed and varied responses.
The clarity and presentation of the worksheets are particularly successful and can be adapted to group work activities as well as individual work.
Well structured series of tasks for students to follow. Clear concise instructions. I like the final extension task where students have to decide on specification points retrospectively for a given product.
Promotes creative thought and discussion on design ideas... Could be used as a stand alone activity or as an introductory activity for a D&M activity using Alessi as a starting point.
A resource linked directly to the KS3 DT strategy. Provides opportunity for independent learning and thinking.
Very well presented.
Excellent...an in depth product evaluation. The method is comprehensive and easy to remember.
