Mark Scheme • Imaginative and innovative ideas have been developed, demonstrating creativity, flair and originality. Further developments made to take account of ongoing research • The implications of a wide range of issues including social, moral, environmental and sustainability, are taken into consideration and inform the development of the design proposals • Excellent development work through experimentation with a wide variety of techniques and modelling (including CAD where appropriate) in order to produce a final design solution • Appropriate materials selected with full regard to their working properties

Mark Scheme • From the making section: – The outcome has the potential to be commercially viable and is suitable for the target market – Final outcome(s) shows a high level of making/modelling/finishing skills and accuracy • YOU MUST DESIGN TO ACHIEVE THIS

Modelling • Board • Counters • Instructions/Cards For each include: – The reason you are modelling – The photo of the model (including construction where needed) – What you have learnt from the model

Reasons to model • • To check the size To check how it is made To see if something works (to test it) To get a users opinion

Layout Board Environmental & Sustainability Issues In each section include: The reason you are modelling The photo of the model (including construction where needed) What you have learnt from the model Write issues here User opinion?

Example Board Environmental & Sustainability Issues I am modelling my board to show… From making my board I have learnt that… Counters Environmental & Sustainability Issues Acrylic can be recycled but is recycling code 7, meaning it is more costly and difficult to recycle. This may also mean more pollution to recycle it than making it from raw materials. Instructions / cards Grey board is very easy to recycle and can come from recycled sources itself. However when stuck to the board backing fabric this makes it very difficult to recycle and as a result it is much worse for the environment. Environmental & Sustainability Issues Paper is very easily recycled and can come from sustainable forests. However, once encapsulated or laminated it is stuck to a different type of material making it very difficult to recycle.
