In this phase, our ideas are turned into a real object. To do this, we must use the different techniques that we have learned. With tools,( scissors, wood saw, hammer …), we create the different parts of our design, according to the sketch. Finally, we mount the object.

C 5: Check the object( testing and evaluation)
The last step is to check whether the constructed object solves our original problem. We must take several issues into account:
Appearance: You must try to make your technological object attractive. Operation: Is it easy to use? Does it do what we wanted it to do? Materials: Are they recyclable? Could you change some materials for cheaper ones? Durability: How long can it last? Does it break easily? Maintenance: How many operations will you have to do every season? Security: Is it dangerous? Are there flammable or poisonous parts?
Finally, remember that the phases of the technological process are not always the same. When you install your object, unexpected problems often arise and so you will have to think of new solutions as you go along.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
