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.
