SOC 2-07a
I can describe the major characteristic features of Scotland’s landscape and explain how these were formed. | |
SOC 2-08a
I can discuss the environmental impact of human activity and suggest ways in which we can live in a more environmentally responsible way. | |
SOC 2-08b
I can consider the advantages and disadvantages of a proposed land use development and discuss the impact this may have on the community. | |
SCN 2-04a
By considering examples where energy is conserved, I can identify the energy source, how it is transferred and ways of reducing wasted energy. | Demonstrates understanding of the law of conservation of energy (energy can be converted from one form to another but cannot be created or destroyed). Identifies the common types of energy (kinetic, potential, electrical, chemical, light, sound and heat) used in energy transfers and transformations that occur in everyday appliances. Explains that when energy transfers and transformations take place, energy is converted into ‘useful’ and ‘wasted’ energy, for example a mechanical braking system transforms kinetic energy into heat energy which is dissipated to the atmosphere as ‘waste’ heat |
TCH 2-02b
I can investigate the use and development of renewable and sustainable energy to gain an awareness of their growing importance in Scotland or beyond. | |
TCH 2-06a
I can analyse how lifestyles can impact on the environment and Earth’s resources and can make suggestions about how to live in a more sustainable way. | Explains how and why it is important to conserve energy. Discusses the advantages and disadvantages of how technologies impact on the environment for example, renewable energy technologies. |
TCH 2-07a
I can make suggestions as to how individuals and organisations may use technologies to support sustainability and reduce the impact on our environment. | Discusses the advantages and disadvantages of how technologies impact on the environment for example, renewable energy technologies. |
TCH 2-09a
I can extend and enhance my design skills to solve problems and can construct models. | Uses tools and equipment in order to carry out a task safely. Uses a range of methods to join and strengthen materials. Estimates and then measures accurately using appropriate units and tools. Creates a range of ideas and chooses a suitable solution. Evaluate solutions and explain why they are or are not suitable |
TCH 2-10a
I can recognise basic properties and uses for a variety of materials and can discuss which ones are most suitable for a given task. | Recognises characteristics of groups of materials such as wood, plastic and metal. Selects suitable materials to use in a task. Discuss the uses of materials. |
TCH 2-12a
I can extend my knowledge and understanding of engineering disciplines to create solution. | Understands the difference between different engineering disciplines. Understands different energy types. Builds/simulates solutions to engineering problems. |
