Learning outcomes

1. Search about environmental problems.

2. Realize that these problems can be global or local.

3. Investigate the consequences of non sustainable management of waste in their country.

4. Identify solutions that are already given (6Rs) and decide whether they are sustainable or not.

5. Draw a basic idea on how their sustainable bottle should look like.

6. Calculate the possible sizes of their bottle.

7. Design a 3D model that can be printed by a 3D printer.

8. Prepare an original and interesting presentation to promote their bottle design.

9. Realize how industrial design and products are produced.

10.Realize how the production of a product can help to the preservation of the environment.

11.Use appropriate ICT tools.12.Work in groups where they will

have the chance to collaborate and exchange ideas.

The student found relevant information and has structured it.

2. Design:2.a Visual design

The design was unfinished.

There is a design, but the final result was not  appealing.

The final result was appealing but could be improved.

The final result was beautiful.

2.b. Technical design 

The technical design was not finished or not correct. 

There was a design, but the final result was not practical.
