Pupils will develop knowledge of electronic components and a systems approach to designing. They will learn about different components and use these to build and test circuits for different purposes. They will design a system to control a greenhouse environment, considering the different variables.

Systems approach to design: Sustainable Futures

An electrically operated mechanical device is an {{}} device

What happens to piezoelectric material if it is pushed?

In tinkercad, which code block do we use to send a signal to a piezoelectric buzzer?

react by changing colour, shape or conductivity

Smart materials give designers exciting {{}} when developing new products.

a small electric charge is generated in response to pressure

Match the smart material with the definition

The directional flow of electrons from one pole to another is called?

Some components are sensitive and can be damaged if the current flowing through is too high, how can the current within a circuit be controlled?
