Level Fourth Learning activities & links to Target Groups (G)
in Framework for Planning Additional advice

Experiences & Outcomes

SCN 435T Phys

Communications systems

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

Communications Light Early 1st 2nd 3rd none at this level

Communications Using the electromagnetic spectrum Early 1st 2nd 3rd this is 4th level

Experiences & Outcomes

SCN 436V Phys

Using the electromagnetic spectrum

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.

SCN 437V Phys

Using the electromagnetic spectrum

Through various activities I can describe how infrared and ultraviolet radiation are used in, for example, healthcare.

SCN 438V Phys

Using the electromagnetic spectrum

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.

Experiences & Outcomes

SCN 439W Phys

Sound

I have recorded and analysed sound signals to show how they can be manipulated and used in sound engineering. Audacity - adopt an audacious approach to the study of sound (method mind-map)
Audacity � extended article in SSERC Bulletin 218 (needs SSERC username & password)

� SSERC 2000-2008. Designed by Ian Birrell, Network Designer, SSERC
