Smart sensor card game
Card game to consolidate understanding of electronic systems
The role of smart sensors in our everyday lives is becoming increasingly fundamental. The Smart Sensor Communications topic focuses on what smart sensors are, how they are being used today and how they can be innovative in the future.
Students are introduced to some recent developments in using smart sensors in control systems. Many of these uses are in health care and other high-tech applications.
Activity info, teachers' notes and curriculum links
In this activity students learn the differences between smart sensors and ordinary sensors by studying some applications of smart sensors. They may also use a card game to consolidate their understanding of electronic systems.
The activity sheet includes teacher notes, guidance, useful web links, and links (where appropriate) to the national curriculum in each of the four devolved UK nations; England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
