Towards level 5 23 24 25-26 27-28 29-31

I have planned and created a flowchart to control one part of the
design (programming the lights of a fun fair ride).
I changed input values to test my flowchart and corrected any parts
that didn’t work properly.
Towards level 5 24-25 25-26 27-28 29-31 32-34
I have planned and created flowcharts to control many parts of the
tasks set (fun fair / haunted house).
I changed input values to test my flowchart and corrected any parts
that didn’t work properly.

Level 5-6 26-27 27-29 29-31 32-34 35-36

I have identified sensors suitable for monitoring the entrances to the
room for the burglar alarm. I have planned and created flowcharts to
control every input of the burglar alarm.

Level 5-6 28-29 30-31 32-34 35-36 37-38

I selected and used appropriate input values to test all my flowcharts
and corrected any parts that didn’t work properly. I have devised and
used criteria to make sure the variables in my flowcharts operate at a
realistic level.
Level 5-6 30-32 32-34 35-36 37-38 39-40
I selected and used appropriate input values to test all my flowcharts
and corrected any parts that didn’t work properly. I have devised and
used criteria to make sure the variables in my flowcharts operate at a
realistic level. I have completed some subroutines to add further
detail to my flow chart models.
Toward level 7 32-34 35-37 37-39 39-41 41-43
I have improved my control system to make it more efficient (e.g.
Combining flowcharts, creating and using subroutines).
I have explained why the content and design of my control
flow charts is suitable for the control tasks I have been doing.
