It’s Electrifying School Zone Lights Project

Schools need to move students from school to home safely. 

Design a plan that will enable drivers to recognise the location of our school.

·         Use a circuit in your design that provides light energy (Can you make your lights flash??)
·         Include a switch in your circuit
·         Provide a scaled model of roads and crossing.
·         Include times on signage that correlate with NSW school zone times.
·         Provide a labelled diagram of the light/s mechanism including scientific symbols to illustrate your circuit.

We will have a whole day on Friday of Week 10 to create your working model at school.

Design your plan for homework in Week 10 and bring your plan to school by Thursday to use when constructing your model. (There will be no other homework in Week 10).

You will also need to provide your own materials for both the road and crossing model (perhaps some little cars and people too!) as well as the circuitry materials.  JayCar at Mona Vale or Brookvale can provide electronic materials for Science projects very cheaply (but you will have to go there!). 


Please be prepared!! as we do not have the materials at school to contribute to this assessment.
