Content descriptor explain how electrical energy can be transformed into movement, sound or light in a product or system

Elaborations

• • Elaboration investigating how automated, labour-saving photovoltaic systems are expected to provide opportunities for First Nations Australians to expand their aquaculture industries in coastal regions of northern Australia
• • Elaboration explaining how sun tracking of solar panels assists renewable energy production in communities classified as remote
• • Elaboration describing the process needed to carefully plan and select components for a system to perform a specific task, for example planning the arrangement of switches, light globes and a power source in a lighting design
• • Elaboration producing models using materials, tools and equipment to show how to control movement, sound or light, for example constructing an automation or lifting system including a pulley to raise a bucket or toy
• • Elaboration deconstructing a product or system to discover how movement, sound or light can be controlled, for example taking apart a torch or buzzer, or exploring circuit design in a security system and investigating the properties of materials to solve problems including the amount of light reflected from different surfaces to control a sensor
