This unit enables children to apply knowledge about electric circuits that they acquire in science in a purposeful way by designing and making a simple torch. While all the designing and making skills will be used, there will be a particular emphasis on defining a set of clear specifications for the torch by considering who will use it and the conditions under which it might be used. The children also consider how the torch can be controlled by designing and making their own switch.
This unit can be adapted by using an alternative context for the children's designing and making assignment eg lighting a room or a house, lighting up a poster or a display.
Unit 4D 'Alarms' is an appropriate alternative to this unit.
