The Design and Technology Cycle in Grade One

Investigate/Research

Evaluate/Test

Grade One students have been guided through this unit of inquiry using the Design and Technology design cycle.

We figured that this would be the ideal way to check for their evidence of understanding of the central idea.

Using this rubric/continuum, we have been monitoring their understanding throughout the unit.

For a summative assessment, students will use what they learned about the facets of the design cycle and apply it toward designing a structure which has meaning to them.
