What are loop cards?

Loop cards are a great game that can be played individually or as a class. They are perfect for review key vocabulary or questions at the end of a topic or when revising for an exam.

Instructions

  1. Cut out the cards from the paper horizontally (but don't cut them in half!) and then shuffle them.
  2. Now start joining each question on the right hand side of the card to the matching answer on the next card.
  3. Carry on until all the cards loop together and you have competed the game!

Hint: Make sure that you set your paper to portrait to print 4 cards per sheet of A4 paper.

Edit Vocab

The desired value or target value that the system aims to achieve.
Stepper Motor
A type of electrical actuator that moves in discrete steps, based on digital pulses, allowing for precise control.
Brushless DC Motor
A motor that uses electronic commutation instead of brushes to control the current flow in the windings, resulting in better efficiency and longevity.
Solenoid
An electromagnetic device that uses a coil of wire to generate a magnetic field, which in turn produces mechanical motion.
Actuator
The part of a control system that converts the controller's output into a physical action or signal.
Electrical Actuator
A device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy to produce linear or rotary motion.
PID Control
A control algorithm that adjusts the output based on the proportional, integral, and derivative terms.
Sensor
A device that measures a physical quantity and converts it into an electrical signal for the control system.
Proportional Control
A control strategy where the controller's output is proportional to the error signal.
Feedback
Information about the system's output that is used to adjust the system's input.
