ACTDEK011

Investigate how forces and the properties of materials affect the behaviour of a product or system

Elaborations ScOT Terms

ACTDEK020

Investigate how electrical energy can control movement, sound or light in a designed product or system

Elaborations ScOT Terms

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) 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 (1) ACTDEK043

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

Elaboration (1) ACTDEK023

evaluating the functional properties of a specific-purpose household system, for example a security system

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

exploring systems used in the classroom or community for creatively dealing with problems and needs, for example storage systems for equipment, traffic system flow for drop and go zones, the use of hoists and ramps to facilitate access

Elaboration (2) ACTDEK031

calculating an engineered system’s outputs, for example speed, brightness of light, volume of sound

Elaboration (5) ACTDEK011

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 ACTDEK020

deconstructing a product or system to discover how movement, sound or light can be controlled, for example deconstructing a torch or buzzer and exploring circuit design

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 (2) ACTDEK013

investigating the suitability of technologies − materials, systems, components, tools and equipment − when designing and making a product, service or environment, for example a toy for a young child, a composting system for household waste management, …
