science project

1. Science and Technology ST3-5WT
Students are
exploring and
defining tasks by
Students are
generating and
developing ideas by
Students are
producing solutions
by
Students are
evaluating by
Developing
design briefs
in a group
Using creative
thinking
techniques like
sketching
Developing a plan and
specifications to guide
production and then
using them
Self assessing the
final product by using
the established
design criteria
Developing design
criteria that considers
function, aesthetics, and
the environment
Planning the process
considering constraints
such as budget, time,
resources and expertise
Selecting and using
appropriate techniques
or research and
communication
Identifying a range of
appropriate materials,
investigating their
suitability
Selecting and safely
using a range of tools,
equipment and related
techniques

2. Science and Technology ST3-6PW
Students learn about how electrical circuits provide a
means of transferring and transforming electricity by:
Identifying potential risks and demonstrating safe use when using electrical circuits and
devices
Demonstrating the need for a circuit to be complete to allow the flow of energy
Constructing simple circuits incorporating devices
Observing and describing how some devices transform electricity to heat energy, light,
sound, or movement

3. HSIE ENS3.5 & ENS3.6
Could be integrated with HSIE Environments as students may be
Patters of
place and
location
ENS3.5
Relationships
with places
ENS3.6
Identifying their own code of behaviour as
it applies to their local area in relation to
their ecological footprint (recycling and
rubbish generated)
Explaining the effects of human
changes on the environment,
evaluating the positive and negative
aspects of these changes
Investigating and Evaluating
ways of addressing the
environmental problem of
excess waste

4. Creative Art- visual arts
VAS3.1 & VAS3.2
The construction of the artefact meets some 'Making'
outcome descriptors, as students are:
Investigating subject
matter in an attempt
to represent likeness
of things in the
world
VAS3.1
Making artworks for
different audiences,
assembling materials
in a variety of ways
VAS3.2
Closely observing details of
an object and using
proportion and composition
to represent it
Exploring subject matter of
personal and social interest
including issues about
environment and objects that
effect it
Discussing the conditions and requirements of
artworks that are made for a particular purpose and
how these conditions affect how they go about
creating their work.

5. English EN3-1A
The group discussions and presentation of the artefact to the class
meets some speaking and listening' outcome descriptors, as
students are
Responding
and
composing
texts by
Planning, rehearsing and delivering a presentation.
Selecting and sequencing appropriate content and
multimodal elements for their audience and purpose.
Making appropriate choices for modality and emphasis
Using interaction skills, such as varying voice volume, tone,
pitch, and pace according to group size, formality and audience
expertise
Participate and contribute to discussions, clarifying and
interrogating ideas, sharing and evaluating information,
experiences, and opinions.
