Learning Outcome

Science
AC9S3I02 – Use scaffolds to plan and conduct a safe, fair test on how brine concentration affects LED brightness, using pH strips to measure change.

Technologies and Engineering
AC9TDE4K02 – Describe how forces (electrical flow) and material properties (copper, zinc, saltwater) affect the generator’s function.
AC9TDI4K02 – Explore how LED brightness readings could be transmitted as data from the generator to a digital display in another location.

Mathematics
AC9M3SP01 – Identify and compare design shapes & materials, explaining why they suit the brine generator’s function.
AC9M3SP02 – Create a 2D layout diagram of your testing area, showing container, wires, LED, and measuring tools in relation to each other.
