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 (5) ACTDEK011

experimenting with available local materials, tools and equipment to solve problems requiring forces including identifying inputs (what goes in to the system), processes (what happens within the system) and outputs (what comes out of the system), for …

Elaboration (1) ACTDEK012

identifying the areas in Australia and Asia where major food or fibre plants and animals are grown or bred, for example the wheat and sheep belts, areas where sugar cane or rice are grown, northern Australia’s beef industry, plantation and native forest …

Elaboration (3) ACTDEK013

comparing how different components interrelate and complement each other in a finished designed solution, for example investigating and playing with joining processes for a variety of materials in the production of common products

Elaboration (2) ACTDEP014

exploring and testing a range of materials under different conditions for suitability including sustainability considerations and identifying appropriate tools, equipment and techniques

Elaboration (1) ACTDEP016

exploring ways of joining, connecting and assembling components that ensure success, and the impact digital technologies have had on these processes

Elaboration (2) ACTDEP016

using tools and equipment accurately when measuring, marking and cutting; and explaining the importance of accuracy when designing and making, for example creating a template, measuring ingredients in a recipe, sowing seeds

Elaboration ACTDEP018

determining planning processes as a class, for example recording a procedure or creating time plans

Elaboration (2) ACTDEP018

identifying the steps in a mass production process

Elaboration ACTDEK023

identifying the properties of materials for the design and construction of a sustainable household item, for example a product for storing harvested water

Elaboration (5) ACTDEK023

comparing the design and production of products, services and environments in Australia and a country in the Asia region

Elaboration (2) ACTDEK032

recognising the need to increase food production using cost efficient, ethical and sustainable production techniques

Elaboration (4) ACTDEK033

explaining how food preparation techniques impact on the sensory properties (flavour, appearance, texture, aroma) of food, for example the browning of cut fruit, the absorption of water when cooking rice

Elaboration ACTDEK045

experimenting with food preservation methods such as freezing and dehydrating to determine changes to food structure and how these impact on designing healthy food solutions, for example dehydrating fruit for the lunch box
