These solar cars are different from fuel cars because:

• They use solar energy instead of fuel.

• They have larger engines.

• They are heavier than fuel cars.

• They require more maintenance.

In your opinion, which is the better of the 2 cars in the picture? Give 2 reasons to EXPLAIN your answer.

HINT: safety, cost, aesthetics, fit for purpose, environment.

Explain how you could improve the function or the aesthetics (looks, sound, feel) of the solar car designed here.

HINT: 2 things you would change

When designing a product, which of the following factors must be considered to ensure the design is successful?

• Safety

• Cost

• Aesthetics

• Fit for purpose

• All of the above

Creating a prototype like this solar car is important in the design process. How can testing the prototype help improve the final product?

Why is it important to consider both renewable and non-renewable energy sources in the design process?

• To ensure that the product is cheap to produce.

• To understand the long-term impact of the product on the environment.

• To make the product look more appealing.

• To make sure the product works quickly.

Why is evaluation important in the design process?

• It allows designers to celebrate completion of the product.

• It helps identify and fix problems before the product is finalised.

• It lets designers skip other stages of the design process.

• It ensures the product is produced as quickly as possible.
