Experiences & Outcomes
SCN 413G			Energy sources
I can describe and explain how energy is transferred between source and user.
SCN 414G Chem			Energy sources
I have carried out a series of experiments to develop my understanding of the chemistry of fuels and plastics and can use this to discuss the importance of carbon compounds to lifestyles around the world.
SCN 415G Bio/Chem			Energy sources
I can express an informed view on the risks and benefits of future fuel options, including those which are produced from plants.

Experiences & Outcomes
SCN 416H Bio			Energy in food
I can carry out chemical tests to distinguish between different energy giving foods. I can use experimental techniques to compare the energy released from different foods in a quantitative way. I can evaluate my methods and the reliability of my results.	Food & Health - Food & the consumer SCN 219H

Experiences & Outcomes		Additional advice
SCN 417J Phys		Electricity
I can use my knowledge of series and parallel circuits to design a solution to a real-life problem. I can represent it as a circuit diagram, explain its operation and evaluate its effectiveness.
SCN 418J Phys		Electricity
I can investigate the relationship between current, voltage and resistance and apply this knowledge to solve practical problems.
SCN 419J Phys		Electricity
Having measured current and voltage in series and parallel circuits, I can apply this knowledge to explain the design and construction of commonly used circuits.
SCN 420J Phys		Electricity
I have participated in experiments to demonstrate the nature of static electricity. I can use my findings to explain common occurrences and industrial applications and how to minimise associated risks.
