Elaboration (3) ACTDEP036

developing models, prototypes or samples using a range of materials, tools and equipment to test the functionality of ideas

producing annotated concept sketches and drawings, using: technical terms, scale, symbols, pictorial and aerial views to draw environments; production drawings, orthogonal drawings; patterns and templates to explain design ideas

Elaboration (3) ACTDEP039

investigating the time needed for each step of production

Elaboration (3) ACTDEK040

explaining how product life cycle thinking can influence decision-making related to design and technologies, for example rethinking products to provide for re-use, selecting a material for a product that has a lower carbon footprint

Elaboration ACTDEP048

critiquing the design of new products to identify how well design ideas respond to sustainability issues

Elaboration (4) ACTDEP050

modifying production processes to respond to unforeseen challenges or opportunities, for example when producing bulk quantities of recipes, lower than average rainfall and impacts on growth, materials with unexpected faults

Elaboration (3) ACTDEP051

evaluating projects for their long-term application, functionality and impact

Elaboration (2) ACTDIK002

experimenting with different ways of representing patterns, for example using materials, sounds, movements or drawing

Elaboration (3) ACTDIP003

exploring and creating graphs to represent classroom data, for example collecting data on the country of birth of each student and presenting the results as a picture graph

Elaboration ACTDIP009

selecting appropriate formats or layout styles to present data as information depending on the type of data and the audience, for example lists, tables, graphs, animations, info graphics and presentations

Elaboration (1) ACTDIP009

using different techniques to present data as information, for example creating a column chart in a spreadsheet by colouring cells to represent different items

Elaboration (2) ACTDIP009

improving the appearance and usability of data, for example using colour, headings and labelling of images to organise and accurately identify data

Elaboration (4) ACTDIP010

defining and describing the sequence of steps needed to incorporate multiple types of data in a solution, for example sequencing the steps in selecting and downloading images and audio to create a book trailer

Elaboration (1) ACTDIP011

using different design tools to record ways in which digital solutions will be developed, for example creating storyboards or flowcharts to record relationships or instructions about content or processes

Elaboration ACTDIP016

using digital systems to validate data, for example setting data types in a spreadsheet to make sure a date is input correctly

Elaboration (1) ACTDIP016

selecting and using peripheral devices suitable to the data, for example using a data probe to collect data about changing soil temperatures for plants, interpreting the data and sharing the results as a digital graph

Elaboration (5) ACTDIP016

using data visualisation software to help in interpreting trends, for example uploading data to a web application and building a visualisation of the dataset

Elaboration ACTDIP020

experimenting with different options that involve repeat instructions, for example a continually repeating slideshow, a repeated movement in an animation, a repeated calculation in a spreadsheet

Elaboration (1) ACTDIP026

visualising data to create information, for example identify trends and outlier data from spreadsheets using plots, or displaying geocoded data on a map

Elaboration (1) ACTDIP030

developing a digital game that manipulates models of real-world objects
