This will form the background research to your Criterion D assessment.
The information for the annotated diagram should be completed by Wednesday 11th January 2023
Key skill : Estimate a value
Parts: what are the names or function of the part? How are the parts related to each other?
Material: Identify the materials used. List some of the material’s physical properties.
Estimate the mass of each material type
Common materials may be
- plastic (can you identify the type of plastic, PP, PS, PET?)
- metal (iron, aluminium, copper, gold etc)
- composite (a mixture of stuff combined together)
- glass and/or ceramicsFlow of Electricity: Outline how electricity is used by your device, and how all the electrical components are connected to each other.
Heat Management: As electricity moves through wires and through electrical components some of the energy transforms into thermal energy (heat). How does your device manage its temperature? Outline how the design of your device allows it to maintain a safe operating temperature.
Chemistry/Design students - do not duplicate work. Do one presentation poster that includes all the rubrics for all the subjects that you are studying

Metals
(can be further subdivided, such as Aluminium or Copper or Steel)Plastics
(can you further identify these - for example PP, PS, PET - research the plastic based on its properties - hard, flexible, or casings etc)Glass
