Design Cycle: Grade 9

The design cycle is the steps you need to do to create something in technology. The first step is the investigation. In the investigation you investigate, and find out  general information about the project you're about to begin. the next step is the design. This is where you put all your ideas on paper. It's preferred to have more than one idea (design) so that if one doesn't work you have other ideas which have a bigger chance of succeeding. The step after is the plan. The plan is a prediction of the steps you might do during the creating process. After the plan, you create the project. The last part is the evaluate. After you finished creating the project you evaluate on your work and how well you worked on the project. During this process you should have a process journal, to reflect on how you did the project.
