History of a paddleboat

Paddle-boats are run using paddles or wheels that assist to propel the boat. Paddle-boats were dominantly used in the early 19th century and have been less used in the late 19th century. This is because propellers have been introduced which are more powerful, effective and efficient. However, paddle boats are still used around the world, mostly for tourist voyages along the river, and smaller boats powered by pedals for recreation.

Educational context

Stage 3: Year 5 and 6

Chosen strand: Physical world

The content of physical world involves the exploration of objects and how the physical characteristics can create different types of cause and effect. The circuitry of a paddle-boat allows students to focus on investigating how electrical energy can create conversions to kinetic, light and sound energies. Students will also develop knowledge and understanding of how engineered products can be designed and produced using sustainable materials.

Plan and conducts scientific investigations to answer testable questions, and collects and summarises data to communicate conclusions (ST3-1WS-SS)

- Investigate the difference between a parallel and series circuit.

- Design, test and evaluate an electrical circuit that creates electrical energy into other conversions of energy such as light, sound and kinetic.

Plan and uses materials, tools and equipments to develop solutions for a need or oppurtunity (ST3-2DP-T)

- Describe and identify where light, sound, kinetic and electrical energy transform from one type of energy to another.

- Investigate how the use of an electrical circuit is used to create other energy conversions such as light, sound and kinetic.

Explain how energy is transformed from one for to another (ST3-8PW-ST)

- Communicate how electrical circuit is designed and connected by creating a circuit diagram using appropriate symbols and representations.

- Present an electrical circuit as evidence in developing explanations.

Outcomes & Content descriptors

Visual arts: Students can experiment with textures and use of color to imitate specific features of a boat after their built project

Other KLA's

English: students will self-evaluate their projects by critically analyzing, discussing and investigating. Students can create reports based on their knowledge and understandings as well as develop a procedural text in building a electrical boat

Mathematics: Students will be utilizing tools such as rulers, and protractors to measure when designing and planning their projects

Electrical circuits

Knowledge of Electrical circuits

Electricity

What is electricity?

It is a form of energy that exist within charged particles that are called electrons or protons. Electricity can be static and can accumulate an amount of charge or it can be moved as a current.

What is a battery?

A battery is a device that is used to power electrical devices such as mobile phones, flash lights, and even electric cars. A battery has two sides where electric currents flow. One is the positive terminal that is the cathode and its negative being the anode.

Parallel Circuits

A parallel circuit involves different pathways for the current to flow through or in other words divided into separate paths. This enables all electrical devices to be powered equally.

Parallel Circuit

Current: The flow of electrons moving along the path or wires.

Series Circuit

A series circuit has a current that follows one path. This means, all electronic devices and parts such as, battery, wires, light bulbs and motors are connected together as one path. Therefore, the current will move from one device to the next.

CCP: Sustainability

Educating sustainability as a cross-curriculum priority is a significant driver for our students. A key idea that will be implemented into this project is the aim of "building capacities for thinking and acting in ways that are necessary to create a more sustainable future." (Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority, [ACARA], 2000). This promotes students reflective thinking and empower to plan actions that will create a more sustainable future for the environment.
