ACTDEK020

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

Elaborations ScOT Terms

Elaboration (3) ACTDEK011

deconstructing a product or system to identify how motion and forces affect behaviour, for example in a puppet such as a Japanese bunraku puppet or a model windmill with moving sails

Elaboration (1) ACTDEK010

examining the suitability of a service or everyday system and proposing improvements, for example a water saving system for a bathroom at home

experimenting with available local materials, tools and equipment to solve problems requiring forces including identifying inputs (what goes in to the system), processes (what happens within the system) and outputs (what comes out of the system), for …

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

Elaboration (2) ACTDEK011

conducting investigations to understand the characteristics and properties of materials and forces that may affect the behaviour and performance of a product or system, for example woomera design

Elaboration (1) ACTDEK023

evaluating the functional properties of a specific-purpose household system, for example a security system

Elaboration (1) ACTDEK044

investigating how digital technologies could be used to enhance food production systems, for example global positioning system (GPS) for managing animals, crop sensors or automated animal feeding or milking

Elaboration (2) ACTDEK047

critiquing the social nature of services, for example a signage system to manage students and community members during a school function (signs may include words, pictures and/or braille); organisational system for an aged-care facility

Elaboration (2) ACTDEP025

analysing and modifying design ideas to enhance and improve the sustainability of the product, service, environment or system

Elaboration (3) ACTDEK001

exploring and critiquing products, services and environments for their impact on sustainability, for example the environmental risks and benefits of a system for organically or hydroponically growing a vegetable crop from seed or seedling to harvest

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 ACTDEK020

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

Elaboration (2) ACTDEK013

investigating the suitability of technologies − materials, systems, components, tools and equipment − when designing and making a product, service or environment, for example a toy for a young child, a composting system for household waste management, …
