calculating forces, reactions and loads in structures

Elaboration ACTDEK011

examining models to identify how forces and materials are used in the design of a toy

Elaboration (1) ACTDEK011

exploring through play how movement can be initiated by combining materials and using forces, for example releasing a wound rubber band to propel a model boat

Elaboration (2) ACTDEK033

investigating how a recipe can be modified to enhance health benefits, and justifying decisions, for example by replacing full cream milk with skim milk

describing ideal conditions for successful plant and animal production including how climate and soils affect production and availability of foods, for example Aboriginal seasons and food availability

Elaboration (4) ACTDEK020

producing models using materials, tools and equipment to show how to control movement, sound or light

Elaboration (2) ACTDEK021

sequencing the process of converting ‘on-farm’ food or fibre products into a product suitable for retail sale, that is, the ‘paddock to plate’ supply chain, or when making yarn or fabric from fibre

Elaboration (2) ACTDEP024

identifying the importance of complementary parts of working, everyday systems by deconstructing the components, structure and purpose of products, services or environments

Elaboration (1) ACTDEK033

examining the relationship between food preparation techniques and the impact on nutrient value, for example steaming vegetables

Elaboration ACTDEK043

explaining the way common machines combine properties of materials and force, motion and energy in, for example, cranes on building sites

Elaboration (2) ACTDEK045

determining how the causes of food spoilage can be addressed when preparing, cooking, presenting and storing food items, for example developing a comprehensive checklist of considerations for safe and hygienic food storage and preparation including danger …

Elaboration (2) ACTDEP007

assembling components of systems and checking they function as planned, for example when making a musical instrument

Elaboration (1) ACTDEP018

managing time and resource allocation throughout production, for example materials, tools, equipment and people

Elaboration ACTDEK002

exploring how the principles of push and pull are used in the design of toys, for example in a spinning toy such as an Aboriginal mammandur

Elaboration (4) ACTDEK011

identifying and exploring properties and construction relationships of an engineered product or system, for example a structure that floats; a bridge to carry a load

Elaboration (3) ACTDEK033

analysing food preparation techniques used in different cultures including those from the Asia region and the impact of these on nutrient retention, aesthetics, taste and palatability, for example stir-frying

Elaboration (3) ACTDEP048

examining relationships of properties for complementary materials for products, for example examining compressive and tensile strengths of materials

Elaboration (3) ACTDEK004

exploring facilities in local environments for accessibility and environmental impact, for example location of bike tracks and sporting fields using digital maps to view local area

Elaboration ACTDEP006

comparing and contrasting features of existing products to provide new ideas, for example exploring toys with several movable parts with the view to designing and making a simple puppet with one movable part

Elaboration (3) ACTDEP006

identifying one common testing method, and recording results, for example taste-testing comparisons of a food product and recording results in a digital form
