This is where the write what is in the product and what it gives you
Student 1: Well. We had to design a nutritious breakfast cereal and we had to design a box with the right measurements that we were given, the volume.
Student 1: We had to make all the nutritious facts on the side.
Teacher: Would you like to tell us how you went about designing it?
Student 1: Well, we just come up with idea with just some brainstorming. (Annotation B)
Teacher: OK, so what does your design look like, would you like to tell us about that?
Student 1: Well it’s partly a prism and partly a pyramid. So we don’t really know what the shape is called.
Teacher: OK, so would you like to tell us a little about what it looks like and some features of it?
Student 2: It’s a triangular cereal box, it’s a got a triangular shape. And we made a flap thing, that’s one of the good features. (Annotation F) So you open it and then the cereal comes out. And there’s a piece of wire that’s attached to the flap. (Annotation D)
Teacher: So would you like to show us that on the actual design there and show us how it works?
Student 2: This, yeah that’s the wire there, and that’s the thing it’s attached to and whenever you twist it the wire that comes down, and there’s a little hole in here where you put the flap in and it closes and it shuts. (Annotation E)
Teacher: Why did you choose to have an opening like that on your cereal box?
Student 2: We wanted to make a challenge, we wanted to have it a bit different.
Teacher: What’s your first picture showing?
Student 1: Well the first picture is showing the inside of the box which is a zip lock bag and there is two hole bits where you put your fingers through and you open your fingers like that and it opens and it can close very easily.
Teacher: Why do you need to have a bag like that?
Student 1: To keep it fresh and uncontaminated. (Annotation C)
Teacher: So tell us about the materials you used to make your box.
Student 1: We used cardboard for the base and the hinge is made out of wire and the flap which goes into the hole to keep it sealed is made out of coloured paper.
Student 1: We had to do the measurements right. (Annotation E)
Teacher: And to help you make the box what did you do?
Student 2: Design a net.
Teacher: So tell us a little about this.
Student 1: The net, it’s stuck together really well because we’ve got big strong tabs. (Annotation E)
Student 4: And we had to make three different sizes, like a small medium and a large. (Annotation F)
Student 2: That’s the smallest one that’s the medium one and that’s the biggest one.
Student 1: There’s the wire bit and there’s the flap which you pull out and then you twist the, pull the wire bit down and it opens, and then it seals. (Annotation E)
