calculating forces, reactions and loads in structures

Elaboration ACTDEK043

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

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 (3) ACTDEP048

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

Elaboration (1) ACTDEP052

creating production flowcharts using digital technologies to ensure efficient, safe and sustainable sequences

Elaboration (1) ACTDEK043

examining and explaining the interaction between material properties and function of a common system, such as car brakes

Elaboration (2) ACTDEK043

analysing the relationship between materials of properties, forces and safety in engineered systems such as bridges

Elaboration (2) ACTDEK046

analysing and explaining the ways in which the properties and characteristics of materials have been considered in the design of a product with specific requirements such as reduced weight to reduce transport costs in rural Australia

Elaboration ACTDEP052

producing, explaining and interpreting drawings; and planning production timelines using digital technologies

Elaboration (4) ACTDEK040

critiquing mass production systems taking into account ethics and sustainability considerations, for example the mass production of food, clothing and shoes and why manufacturers produce different versions of the same product

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 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

Elaboration (1) ACTDEK045

conducting sensory assessment testing of a range of foods to determine how these characteristics might be used to enhance food solutions, for example taste testing a variety of milks, comparing freshly squeezed juice to commercial juices

Elaboration (4) ACTDEP049

producing drawings, models and prototypes to explore design ideas, for example using technical drawing techniques, digital imaging programs, 3D printers or augmented reality modelling software; producing multiple prototypes that show an understanding …
