Elaboration ACTDEP026

matching material and joining techniques to the design intention, for example accurately cutting and sewing the fabric pieces to make a community banner or joining components to produce an electric circuit

Elaboration (2) ACTDEK002

selecting materials to demonstrate how material properties are appropriate for particular designed solutions, for example materials that enable sliding or floating

Elaboration (4) ACTDEK002

combining materials and using forces in design, for example designing the door on a cage or a simple conveyor belt to move materials short distances

Elaboration (1) ACTDEK004

developing new meanings for objects and action during play, for example exploring how household packaging can be used to represent other objects

Elaboration (5) ACTDEK004

experimenting with techniques to combine or alter materials to satisfy a function

Elaboration (3) ACTDEK020

recognising the need to carefully plan and select components for a system to perform a specific task

Elaboration (3) ACTDEK002

exploring a system such as a marionette or Indonesian wayang kulit shadow puppet to see that by combining materials with forces movement can be created

Elaboration (5) ACTDEK002

exploring how to manipulate materials using a range of tools, equipment and techniques to create movement, for example when constructing a toy boat that floats and moves

Elaboration (1) ACTDEP005

exploring opportunities around the school for designing solutions, for example how school play areas could be improved; how the school removes classroom waste and identifying opportunities to reduce, recycle and re-use materials; reviewing the school …

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 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) ACTDEK004

exploring materials, components, tools and equipment through play to discover potential uses when making products or modelling services and environments, for example when designing and making clothes, toys and shelters

Elaboration (3) ACTDEP026

manipulating materials with appropriate tools, equipment and techniques, for example when preparing food, cultivating garden beds, constructing products

Elaboration (1) ACTDEK002

identifying, and playing and experimenting with, components such as wheels, balls, slides, springs and available local materials, tools and equipment to solve problems requiring movement

Elaboration ACTDEP007

using and playing with everyday materials in new ways or re-using discarded materials, for example using discarded materials to design, make and model a constructed environment

Elaboration (2) ACTDEP007

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

Elaboration (3) ACTDEP016

selecting and using materials, components, tools, equipment and processes with consideration of the environmental impact at each stage of the production process

Elaboration (2) ACTDEK020

investigating the features of electrical devices such as switches, light globes and sensors

Elaboration (4) ACTDEP025

experimenting with materials, tools and equipment to refine design ideas, for example considering the selection of materials and joining techniques to suit the purpose of a product
