Evaluating your product

In this lesson, we will be evaluating and testing our healthy lunch against our design criteria. This will help us to decide how well we have met our brief. We will also gather the opinions of others to help us to develop our work further. Please note this lesson will require some additional equipment, beyond a pen, pencil or paper, to fully participate. Please see the equipment slide near the start of the lesson video and make sure your child is adequately supervised if equipment is required.
