Description
Stage 3 Science Unit 3 Lessons 9–16 | NSW 2024 Syllabus | Powering Solutions: Circuits, Coding and Sustainable Design
Product Description
Complete the second half of Stage 3 Science Unit 3 – Powering Solutions: Circuits, Coding and Sustainable Design with this comprehensive, ready-to-teach resource for Lessons 9–16.
Aligned with the NSW Science and Technology K–6 Syllabus (2024), this teaching pack guides students through an authentic design process as they research electrical safety and design, build, test, evaluate and present an interactive electrical quiz game for younger students.
Students identify user needs, establish design criteria, develop annotated plans and construct a working prototype using a simple electrical circuit. They then gather feedback through user testing, make evidence-based modifications and present their completed solution at a class expo.
What’s included:
- Nearly 200 PowerPoint slides
- Eight complete lessons covering Lessons 9–16
- A student worksheet for every lesson
- Comprehensive worksheet answer pages
- Unit and lesson overviews
- Detailed scope and sequence
- NSW syllabus outcome mapping
- Assessment and evidence overview
- Resource and preparation guidance
- Safety, differentiation and implementation notes
- Downloadable font information
- PowerPoint and PDF formats
Lessons included:
- Lesson 9 – The design challenge: Explore the design process, define the challenge and consider the needs of younger users.
- Lesson 10 – Electrical safety: Research accurate electrical-safety information and develop accessible quiz questions.
- Lesson 11 – Design a prototype: Establish design criteria and create an annotated prototype and circuit plan.
- Lesson 12 – Build a prototype: Begin constructing the electrical quiz game and refine ideas through peer feedback.
- Lesson 13 – Finalise the prototype: Troubleshoot, complete and document the built solution.
- Lesson 14 – User testing: Test the prototype with younger students and collect meaningful feedback and observational data.
- Lesson 15 – Evaluate a prototype: Evaluate the design against established criteria and make purposeful modifications.
- Lesson 16 – Expo: Present the finished prototype and design journal, complete peer evaluation and reflect on the design process.
NSW syllabus outcomes
This resource addresses:
- ST3-SCI-01 – uses evidence to explain how scientific knowledge can be used to develop sustainable practices
- ST3-DDT-01 – uses design processes to create, evaluate and modify designed solutions
- ST3-CWT-01 – creates written texts to communicate understanding of scientific and technological concepts and processes
Key learning areas:
Throughout the sequence, students develop understanding and skills in:
- Electrical circuits and electrical safety
- Sustainable use of materials
- User needs and authentic design challenges
- Design criteria
- Annotated planning and prototyping
- Construction and circuit troubleshooting
- Open and closed user-testing questions
- Data collection and interpretation
- Testing, evaluation and modification
- Peer feedback and reflective journalling
- Presenting a designed solution to an audience
This resource includes everything needed to teach the second half of the unit with clear explanations, engaging visuals, structured activities and meaningful assessment opportunities.
Please note: This listing contains Lessons 9–16 only. Lessons 1–8 are available to purchase here.
