Design & Technology

Electronics Section A of your exam paper is theme based and will be issued separately. In this section you are expected to have researched and collected relevant information to aid your response to a design based question. Section B of your exam paper tests your knowledge and understanding of electronic theory.

Some useful starting points for your revision a full specification guide can be found using the link below. http://www.aqa.org.uk/subjects/design-and-technology/gcse/design-and-technology-electronic-products-4540 You must refer to pages 7 -13 for full details.

Mechanical Switches understand the terms: pole, throw, normally open, normally closed, in relation to SPST and SPDT switches; use switches connected in series or parallel; know how to eliminate the effect of switch bounce.

Resistors understand and use resistors to control voltage and current in electronic circuits and use Ohms Law calculations to determine current flowing through a resistor and voltage across a resistor and determine the value of resistors in series; Series Resistors Rtotal = R1 + R2 + R3 etc

Logic understand that logic is used when circuits require more than one input; use the following logic gates and construct their truth tables (limited to 2 inputs): AND, OR and NOT; understand that logic gates respond to, and output, digital signals and distinguish these from analogue signals.

Potential Dividers use a potential divider to control voltages in a circuit; construct a constant voltage potential divider from two fixed resistors in series; cnstruct a variable voltage potential divider from a fixed resistor and an LDR or thermistor in series;

Potential Difference Potential Difference = Current × Resistance (V = I × R) Series Resistors Rtotal = R1 + R2 + R3 etc

Social Issues, Choices & Responsibilities Speaking and Writing: Ensure that you have learnt all the bullet points for your next speaking/ writing assessment. Read these out loud with a friend so that you can help each other with pronunciation. Have you included a past, present and future tense and have you put lots of opinion words in? Have you included adjectives where appropriate? For your written assessment make sure you have written a full draft covering all the bullet points required. On past Reading papers there are often short but relevant texts which cover useful topic areas. Can you include vocabulary and idioms from these into your writing?

14

Listening & Reading: Learn key vocab from lists on the MFL area of the VLE. You only need to know what vocab. means - you won't have to spell it at this stage. It is best to learn small amounts regularly (ie 10-20 words or phrases a day), rather than 'cram-learning' it all just before the exam. There are also helpful Revision Guides and Workbooks (£5 for both) available in the department to purchase. - Make sure you know all your Question words. - Practice past papers, on the AQA website, which is a very valuable exercise at this stage. The tests tend to be very similar from year to year. Ask your teacher for some past papers. Bring in a USB stick to record some exam listening texts. There are also some available on: - Use Vocab Express website to practise all skill areas and get used to listening in the target language.

Music

Pop Music of the 20th and 21st Centuries (Blues, Rock, R 'n B, Hip-Hop, 60's Pop, Musical Theatre and Film Music) The Western Classical Tradition (Baroque Orchestral Music, the Concerto, Music for Voices, Chamber Music and the Sonata) World Music (Music of the Caribbean, Africa and India) Listen to music from these genres and ask yourself questions based on the musical elements (Areas of Study)

Tempo Rhythm and Metre Texture Form and Structure Dynamics Harmony and Tonality Instruments, Voices, Ensembles and Timbre Articulation and Phrasing Melody and Pitch

When revising for listening you should ask yourself a number of questions to ensure you focus on what you hear. This will help improve your understanding of the specific features of each of the Areas of Study What is the tempo of this piece of music? Does the tempo change? How many beats in a bar are there? Are there any other interesting rhythmic features? What melody instruments are playing? What type of ensemble is playing? Which historical/pop music period does this piece come from? Who might have composed/performed the piece of music? What are the dynamics of this piece? How do they change? What is the structure/form of this piece? What type of cadence is used at the end of each phrase? Is the piece in a major or minor key, or something else? Does the piece change key? If so, where does it change key to? Describe the texture of the piece How has music technology been used in this extract? Which world music culture features in the extract? Is it a fusion of genres? Can you write out the notes of the melody? Can you notate the rhythm of the main melody line? These, and many other questions you can devise for yourself, will act as useful revision for any piece of music you actively listen too. The more you listen to, and the more you ask yourself the better. Remember to focus a good proportion of your listening on music from your Areas of Study.
