Talk for Learning: With the aid of audio-visuals, learners watch and describe the control mechanisms for spacecraft. Teaching and Learning Resources: - Audio-visuals on how fixed-wing aircraft are controlled - Audio-visuals on how rotary wing aircraft are controlled - Flip board paper/A4 sheets - Audio-visuals on how spacecraft - are controlled Assessment (3.1.3.AS.3). The document marks these depth-of-knowledge levels for this indicator: Level 3 Strategic reasoning.
