Elaboration (3) ACTDEP015

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

Elaboration (3) ACTDEP014

examining the structure and production of everyday products, services and environments to enhance their own design ideas

representing and communicating design ideas using modelling and drawing standards including the use of digital technologies, for example scale; symbols and codes in diagrams; pictorial maps and aerial views using web mapping service applications

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 (3) ACTDEK033

analysing food preparation techniques used in different cultures including those from the Asia region and the impact of these on nutrient retention, aesthetics, taste and palatability, for example stir-frying

Elaboration (3) ACTDEP048

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

Elaboration ACTDEK011

examining models to identify how forces and materials are used in the design of a toy

Elaboration (3) ACTDEK004

exploring facilities in local environments for accessibility and environmental impact, for example location of bike tracks and sporting fields using digital maps to view local area

Elaboration (3) ACTDEP006

identifying one common testing method, and recording results, for example taste-testing comparisons of a food product and recording results in a digital form

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) 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 (3) ACTDEK031

producing prototypes and jigs to test functionality, including the use of rapid prototyping tools such as 3D printers

Elaboration (3) ACTDEP028

outlining the planning and production steps needed to produce a product, service or environment using digital technologies

Elaboration (3) ACTDEK032

describing physical and chemical characteristics of soil and their effects on plant growth when producing food and fibre products

Elaboration (3) ACTDEP036

developing models, prototypes or samples using a range of materials, tools and equipment to test the functionality of ideas

Elaboration (3) ACTDEP039

investigating the time needed for each step of production

Elaboration (3) ACTDEP051

evaluating projects for their long-term application, functionality and impact

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 (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 ACTDEP024

exploring the steps involved in the process to satisfy a design brief, need or opportunity
