Introduction
The unit 'Fairground' enabled # to gain an understanding of an important mechanism, using belts and pulleys, and to learn more about control using electricity and an electric motor. # was introduced to computer control. The focus of the unit was for * to design and make a model of a fairground ride.
"
Investigation
Section 1: Investigative, disassembly and evaluative activities (IDEAs)

^ is able to identify products which incorporate a pulley and drive belt and are driven by a motor or are computer controlled.
^ has identified control systems used in everyday life and named the key elements of a system.
"
PracticalTasks
Section 2: Focused practical tasks (FPTs)

^ has successfully connected an electric motor in a circuit to make it work in various ways.
^ is able to use a belt and pulley system. ^ used it to produce a variety of types of rotation e.g. reverse, in another plane, faster, slower.
^ used construction kit components to model ~ ideas for the parts of ~ product that ^  wanted to make.

Making
Section 3: Design and make assignment (DMA) Design and make a model of a fairground ride

# could apply what ^ had learnt during ~ investigation and practical task in ~ designing and making stages.
# decide which type of ride ^ would make.
^ was able to model ~ design using some temporary fixings.
^ identified the criteria for ~ ride against which it would be evaluated both during and at the end of the making stage.
^ was able to make a product in which an electric motor successfully droves a rotating part.
# has controlled a model using an interface connection to a computer.
# evaluated the effectiveness of ~ design and ^ was able to adjust it to improve its efficiency or effectiveness.
