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 (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 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 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 (1) ACTDEK010

examining the suitability of a service or everyday system and proposing improvements, for example a water saving system for a bathroom at home

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 (2) ACTDEP017

evaluating the functional and aesthetic qualities of a designed solution

Elaboration (2) ACTDEK010

investigating materials, components, tools and equipment, including by using digital technologies, to discover their characteristics and properties, how they can be used more sustainably and their impact in the future

Elaboration (2) ACTDEK011

conducting investigations to understand the characteristics and properties of materials and forces that may affect the behaviour and performance of a product or system, for example woomera design

Elaboration (4) ACTDEK012

investigating the labels on food products to determine how the information provided contributes to healthy eating, for example ingredients and nutrition panels

Elaboration (1) ACTDEK013

investigating the mass production of products to ensure standardisation, for example students setting up a production line to produce a product for a school fete

Elaboration (4) ACTDEK013

investigating local constructed environments to compare how buildings were constructed in the past and in the present and noting innovations

Elaboration (4) ACTDEP016

demonstrating safe, responsible and cooperative work practices when making designed solutions

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 (3) ACTDEP015

visualising and exploring innovative design ideas by producing thumbnail drawings, models and labelled drawings to explain features and modifications

Elaboration (1) ACTDEP016

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