Context:- is the problem that has to be solved.Brief:- is what you will do to solve the problem.Specifications:- a list of things your product must fulfil. The specification list is what you will use to evaluate your product against when you have finished.

Context:Electrical products often break due to lots of small parts and fragile electrical components, these repairs can be expensive and often unnecessary as the fault is simply caused by a ‘blown fuse’.

Brief:To design and make an electrical device to test is a fuse is working that can be used by ……………………………..................................................................................………………………………………………………………………………...

What kind of people could use a fuse tester?

Why would they need it?

What will make them want your fuse tester?

Exploring the task

Use the information you have learned to write a list of specifications for your fuse tester.

Remember:- these specifications must match your design brief.

The fuse tester must:

Twist the parts together

Clean the tip of the soldering iron on a damp sponge

Tin the tip of the soldering iron with solder

Heat the 2 parts to be joined

Slowly push the solder into the hot area

Leave it too cool and harden.

The steps to soldering have all gotten muddled up can you put them in the correct order and match the sentences below to the correct picture?

Step 1.

label these components:

Teacher gives you your components

Drill Holes

Carefully solder component legs together

Are the components in correct place?

Is the solder joint secure?

Trim legs of soldered components with wire cutters

Wear goggles

Test your circuit and fault find

Completed circuit

Planning – Flow chart

How can I draw in isometric?

You can use the lines drawn for you to help make an isometric cuboide for your

packaging design. Then have a go at drawing your own using the rest of the page.

Remember: Your design must include the things from your starter worksheet. And,You must evaluate each of your ideas.

Level 3 Level 4 Level 5 Your circuit is complete but may

need a simple adjustment to work. Your product can stand up without

falling apart.

You safely produce a working circuit with good soldering that has been secured into the casing.

You pay attention to the quality of finish and how well your product works

Your product will be neatly made and assembled.

Your soldering will all be nearly perfect. Your product is well finished with added

decoration
