Design Cycle- Investigation

Investigate:
Investigation is doing research to give you an idea of the subject. So in our unit we have to research about Disasters which is the subject. To do the investigation we have to go online and search for information about the subject. We can also do this by looking into books and doing observations. For e.g. we can go onto a website about disasters and learn about different types of disasters like volcanoes, thunder storms, blizzards, etc. To make an investigation easier we use a guiding question. We answer the guiding question while we are doing the research on the subject.

Plan:
The second part is the plan where we have to plan the project. plans can be done by analysis of the subject and can also be done by drawing diagrams and brains storming ideas. In the end we have so many ideas that we have to choose one and stick with it. We call this the final design.

Create:
the third part of the design cycle is the create where you have to create the product/solution according to plan. You also have to use the right equipment/resources which you should have wrote in the plan.

Evaluate:
The last part of the design cycle is the evaluation where you have to evaluate your product/solution. You do this by writing what you did when you created the solution/product. You also have to conclude, so you have to say what the product/solution tells you and you also have to tell how you can improve.
