ACTDEK020

Investigate how electrical energy can control movement, sound or light in a designed product or system

Elaborations ScOT Terms

ACTDEK031

Analyse how motion, force and energy are used to manipulate and control electromechanical systems when designing simple, engineered solutions

Elaborations ScOT Terms

Elaboration (4) ACTDIK034

investigating the operation and use of robotic process control systems

Elaboration (1) ACTDEK020

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

Elaboration (5) ACTDEK020

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

investigating influences impacting on manufactured products and processes such as historical developments, society, new materials, control systems and biomimicry, for example the development of velcro

Elaboration (4) ACTDEK020

producing models using materials, tools and equipment to show how to control movement, sound or light

Elaboration (1) ACTDIP018

applying the principles and elements of design to a set of requirements in order to produce a user interface for a system that addresses an identified need, for example to emphasise or highlight an area of the screen to draw the viewer’s attention to …

Elaboration (4) ACTDEK031

using code to control systems, for example code to program a microcontroller or a simple, object-based coding application to program a system such as a remote-controlled car or simple robotic arm

Elaboration ACTDIP029

investigating and designing some common algorithms, such as to search, sequence, sort, merge, control data structures

Elaboration ACTDIK023

explaining that networks have components that control the movement of data, for example routers, hubs, switches and bridges manage data traffic and that the characteristics of these components impact on the operation (speed and security) of networks

Elaboration (1) ACTDIP010

describing, using drawings, pictures and text, the sequence of steps and decisions in a solution, for example to show the order of events in a game and the decisions that a player must make

Elaboration (3) ACTDIP009

using software to sort and calculate data when solving problems, for example sorting numerical and categorical data in ascending or descending order and automating simple arithmetic calculations using nearby cells and summing cell ranges in spreadsheet …

Elaboration (3) ACTDIP004

recognising sequences of instructions or events that are commonly experienced such as the sequence of traffic lights or instructions for recording a TV show or how their lunch order is taken and delivered

Elaboration (3) ACTDIK023

recognising that there are different communications protocols for transmitting data in networks, for example hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) is used for transferring web page files in a browser, file transfer protocol (FTP) is used for sending and …
