ICT at key stage 3 (Year 9) Unit 13: Control systems
In this unit pupils explore ICT systems through the scenario of designing a new water ride in a theme park. The ride must be a new concept, water based and involve some kind of boat or raft.
This unit is part of the (England and Wales) ICT scheme of work (SoW) which shows how the ICT programme of study (PoS) for key stage 3 can be translated into manageable units of work.
The scheme is not statutory; you can use as much or as little as you wish. You could use the whole scheme or individual units. The sections on ?sing this scheme?and ?equencing the units?can help you to decide how you want to use the scheme.
The units are aimed at pupils who are attaining at levels that are broadly appropriate for their age. You may therefore need to adapt them to meet your pupils?needs. The ?dapting units?section provides guidance on doing this.
You may also wish to combine these units with units from another subject. The ?ombining units?section gives information on exploiting powerful links between subjects.
