The lessons in order
| Ref | Lesson pack | Structure | Worksheet | Quiz | Lab tab |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6.1 | Automated systems: sensors, microprocessors and actuators Street lights that switch on at dusk, a greenhouse that waters itself, a train with no driver: each one senses the world, decides what to do and acts, over and over, without a person in the loop. | Anticipation / Reaction Guide | 6 Q, 21 marks | 6 MCQ | none |
| 6.2 | Robotics A robot arm welding cars, a vacuum cleaner finding its way round a sofa, a drone checking crops from the air: all are robots. | Cooperative Concept Mapping | 6 Q, 16 marks | 6 MCQ | none |
| 6.3 | Artificial intelligence: expert systems and machine learning A program that diagnoses a car fault like a mechanic, an email filter that gets better at spotting spam the more you use it: both simulate intelligent behaviour. | Think-Pair-Share | 6 Q, 17 marks | 6 MCQ | none |
Each pack holds the plan, worksheet and quiz for its lesson. Teach the rows in order; the lab tabs match the student lessons.
