Investigate how electrical energy can control movement, sound or light in a designed product or system
Elaborations
deconstructing a product or system to discover how movement, sound or light can be controlled, for example deconstructing a torch or buzzer and exploring circuit design (Skills: Literacy, Numeracy, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Capability, Critical and Creative Thinking)
investigating the properties of materials to solve problems requiring the control of movement, sound or light, for example the amount of light reflected from different surfaces to control a sensor (Skills: Literacy, Numeracy, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Capability, Critical and Creative Thinking)
investigating the features of electrical devices such as switches, light globes and sensors (Skills: Literacy, Critical and Creative Thinking)
recognising the need to carefully plan and select components for a system to perform a specific task (Skills: Critical and Creative Thinking)
producing models using materials, tools and equipment to show how to control movement, sound or light (Skills: Numeracy, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Capability, Critical and Creative Thinking)
investigating the technologies in a control system for an identified need or opportunity and user, for example a system that allows safe passage at pedestrian crossings (Skills: Literacy, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Capability, Critical and Creative Thinking, Personal and Social Capability)
