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

a 2D view projected from a 3D model, such as the front, side, or top view

What does a projected view show in a technical drawing?

Adding dimensions to a drawing ensures that every part of a design can be built to the correct {{}}.

flat views used to show dimensions clearly

a 3D-style drawing showing depth and height

Match each drawing element to its purpose:

Which of the following is not usually included in a technical drawing?

they are quicker to produce than CAD models

they combine realistic and accurate information about a design

Why are isometric and orthographic drawings often shown together?

Orthographic projection helps show all sides of an object without showing any {{}}.

to create, test and communicate precise design ideas digitally

What is the main purpose of using CAD software in product design?

A technical drawing is used to show how a {{}} should be made.

showing front, side and top views separately

the 2D base drawing used to create features

Match each tool or concept to its description:

When designing, why are accurate measurements important?

The title block on a drawing provides {{}} such as the designer’s name, date, and drawing name or product title.
