2. Success Criteria All students should be able to: Describe how safety focussed design is used within a car Most students should be able to: Fully explain how each of the above works Some students should also be able to: Link the concepts of safety to a mathematical principle

3. TASK ONE Make summary notes on the NCAP Car safety standards –Notes should include the criteria for each star rating and examples of cars in each category

4. TASK TWO Explain optimal materials for torsion bars, seatbelts, airbags etc and why they were chosen. Why are these materials sometimes not used in some cars?

5. TASK THREE Explain how the air bag responds to an impact with associated diagrams and if possible, link to a mathematical relationship.

6. TASK FOUR Design a car with appropriate size and function for a family of four but with safety focussed on ALL passengers, not just in the front.
