How do
different materials affect light and sound?
Curriculum for Excellence - draft outcomes
CfE (Life and Cells - Using my senses) (Level Second)
- SCN 229S - I have researched the structure and function of the eyes and ears,
and have taken part in activities to discover the limitations of my senses.
CfE (Communications - Sound) (Level Third)
- SCN 231W - I can use my understanding of how to change the pitch of a sound to
design and construct a simple musical instrument. Using my instrument I can
demonstrate that sounds are produced by vibrations.
CfE (Life and Cells - Using my senses) (Level Third)
- SCN 321S - Using my knowledge and understanding of the senses, I can show how
modern technology can be used to replace or enhance the senses and so improve
the quality of life for individuals.
CfE (Communications - Systems) (Level Third)
- SCN 322T - Based on my understanding of colour mixing, I have compared the
main types of visual displays used in communication and entertainment devices. I
can present information on their relative advantages and disadvantages.
CfE (Communications - Light) (Level Third)
- SCN 323U - Having carried out activities on light passing through different
materials, I can explain to others some useful applications of lenses and
prisms.
CfE (Topical Science) (Level Third)
- SCN 332BB - Through research and group discussion, I have contributed to an
evaluation of a media item with regard to its scientific content.

CfE (Communications - Systems) (Level Fourth)
- SCN 435T Phys - Given a real-life scenario, I can use data to select and
justify the use of a suitable material to construct a communication system using
fixed landlines.
CfE (Communications - Electromagnetic spectrum) (Level Third)
- SCN 324V - I have investigated infrared radiation and microwaves and can
discuss the advantages and disadvantages of their use in everyday forms of
communication. I can use my knowledge to describe some features of how devices
communicate with one another over short distances.
CfE (Communications - Electromagnetic spectrum) (Level Fourth)
- SCN 436V Phys - I can apply my knowledge of the electromagnetic spectrum to
explain and compare methods of local and global communication and how these have
impacted on society.
CfE (Communications - Electromagnetic spectrum) (Level Fourth)
- SCN 437V Phys - Through various activities I can describe how infrared and
ultraviolet radiation are used in, for example, healthcare.
CfE (Communications - Electromagnetic spectrum) (Level Fourth)
- SCN 438V Phys - I have researched potential hazards associated with some types
of radiation, for example those used in communication devices. Through this I
have developed my awareness of how scientific research can develop our
understanding of the benefits and risks of new technology.
CfE (Communications - Sound) (Level Fourth)
- SCN 439W Phys - I have recorded and analysed sound signals to show how they
can be manipulated and used in sound engineering.
CfE (Topical Science) (Level Fourth)
- SCN 443BB ALL - I have researched a new development in science and can show
how its current or future application might impact on modern life.
CfE (Topical Science) (Level Fourth)
- SCN 444BB ALL - Having selected a scientific theme of topical interest, I can
critically analyse the issues, and use relevant information to develop an
informed argument. |
