Investigates:
context to situation (list advantage / disadvantage of solution to people / environment)
products â identify & compare design aspects science process skills (if appropriate) |
Systems & Control:
of movement (linear & rotary)
- Process - Output
input and output motion (using the components of mechanical systems, hydraulic and pneumatic included)
of simple electric circuits.
of electrical energy into other forms (light, heat etc.)
- Process - Output |
Impacts: technological products & processes (Suggest improvements to minimize negative effects on people / environment) |
|
Designs: Design brief
solutions (linked to design brief & specifications and/or constraints.)
of solution with reasons
solution developed further |
Processing:
of materials (drying, coating, canning, sealing) underpinned by an understanding of why materials deteriorate.
|
