Detailed below are the boards that help with sections of Scotland’s curriculum for excellence. The information is based on the document that can be found at: https://education.gov.scot/media/kosdrlaj/sciencesbenchmarkspdf.pdf
SCN 1-08a
By exploring the forces exerted by magnets on other magnets and magnetic materials, I can contribute to the design of a game.
Magnetism
SCN 1-09a
I can describe an electrical circuit as a continuous loop of conducting materials. I can combine simple components in a series circuit to make a game or model.

Circuit Basics
SCN 2-09a
I have used a range of electrical components to help to make a variety of circuits for differing purposes. I can represent my circuit using symbols and describe the transfer of energy around the circuit.
Switches
Switch Practical
SCN 3-09a
Having measured the current and voltage in series and parallel circuits, I can design a circuit to show the advantages of parallel circuits in an everyday application.
Measuring Electricity
Parallel and Serial Connections
SCN 4-08a
I can help to design and carry out investigations into the strength of magnets and electromagnets. From investigations, I can compare the properties, uses and commercial applications of electromagnets and super magnets.
Electromagnetism
Trembler Bell
Electromagnetic Forces
SCN 4-09a
Through investigation, I understand the relationship between current, voltage and resistance. I can apply this knowledge to solve practical problems.
Conductors
Resistors and Ohm's Law
Ohm's Law Practical
Multimeters and Resistor Rings
Potential Dividers
SCN 4-09b
By contributing to investigations into the properties of a range of electronic components, I can select and use them as input and output devices in practical electronic circuits
Transistors
Capacitors
Diodes
Zener Diodes
Voltage Regulators
Resistor Capacitor (RC) Circuits
SCN 4-09c
Using my knowledge of electronic components and switching devices, I can help to engineer an electronic system to provide a practical solution to a real-life situation.
