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 (3) ACTDEP035

examining, testing and evaluating a variety of suitable materials, components, tools and equipment for each design project, for example the differences between natural hardwood and plantation softwood timbers, which determine their suitability for particular …

Elaboration ACTDEK010

exploring, playing with and testing materials for their appropriateness, for example materials for a new sun-shade product

Elaboration (3) ACTDEK011

deconstructing a product or system to identify how motion and forces affect behaviour, for example in a puppet such as a Japanese bunraku puppet or a model windmill with moving sails

Elaboration (3) ACTDEP024

testing a range of materials, components, tools and equipment to determine the appropriate technologies needed to make products, services or environments, for example a moving vehicle

Elaboration (1) ACTDEP027

evaluating the suitability of materials, tools and equipment for specific purposes

Elaboration (4) ACTDEP035

evaluating the viability of using different techniques and materials in remote, isolated areas, or less developed countries

Elaboration (3) ACTDEK045

preparing and presenting foods using a range of techniques to ensure optimum nutrient content, flavour, texture and visual appeal, for example designing and producing a healthy snack for the canteen and using food photography and digital technologies …

Elaboration (4) ACTDEP048

identifying appropriate tools, equipment, techniques and safety procedures for each process and evaluating production processes for accuracy, quality, safety and efficiency

Elaboration ACTDEP050

refining technical skills and using production skills with independence to produce quality designed solutions and to reduce risks in production

Elaboration (4) ACTDIK002

creating different patterns using the same elements, for example using patterns of coloured counters to communicate and give meaning such as a response of ‘yes’ or ‘no’

Elaboration (5) ACTDIK002

learning about how data are represented by changing pixel density (resolution) in a photograph with support and noting the change in file size to successfully email to a friend

Elaboration ACTDEP015

exploring ways of joining, connecting and assembling components that ensure success

Elaboration (1) ACTDEP018

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

Elaboration (3) ACTDEK021

using current food guides and government-endorsed food policies to plan food choices

Elaboration (1) ACTDEP026

working safely, responsibly and cooperatively to ensure safe work areas, for example the safe use of equipment when making a water-resistant, floating craft or a model of an environmentally sensitive outdoor shelter

Elaboration (1) ACTDEP050

using materials, components, tools, equipment and techniques safely and considering alternatives to maximise sustainability, for example using timber because it stores carbon and offsets the demand for alternative products

Elaboration (4) ACTDIP011

creating options for users to make choices in solutions, for example a user input and branching mechanism such as buttons in a slideshow

Elaboration (4) ACTDEK029

investigating traditional and contemporary design and technologies, including from Asia, and predicting how they might change in the future in response to factors such as social change and the need for more sustainable patterns of living

Elaboration (3) ACTDEP048

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