Curriculum for Excellence
Solar Power
In the section “Energy in the Environment” pupils are expected to be familiar with the renewable energy sources that are available to us. This model illustrates clearly the possibility of harnessing electrical power from the sun.
Steady Hand
In the Energy in the Environment section of the Curriculum for Excellence programme pupils are expected to design and build a game or model which uses simple components in a series circuit and explain in simple terms how it works?
Earth / Neutral / Live
In the “Energy in the Environment” section pupils are expected, by use of their practical experience of fuses, circuit breakers and earth wires, to describe the dangers of electricity.
Planets
Designed in anticipation of the imminent introduction of the Curriculum for Excellence programme this model of our planetary system fits well into the Planet Earth section where the pupils are expected to use a simple model to communicate an understanding of size, scale and relative motion of the planets.
