Elaboration (2) ACTDEP007

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

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) 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

comparing and contrasting features of existing products to provide new ideas, for example exploring toys with several movable parts with the view to designing and making a simple puppet with one movable part

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) 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 (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 (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 (2) ACTDEK004

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 (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 (1) ACTDEP006

communicating design ideas by modelling, and producing and labelling two-dimensional drawings using a range of technologies to show different views (top view and side view), for example a new environment such as a cubby house or animal shelter

Elaboration ACTDEP009

checking that planned features have been included in design plans and drawings by referring to identified criteria for success including care for the environment
