Elaboration (2) ACTDEK046

analysing and explaining the ways in which the properties and characteristics of materials have been considered in the design of a product with specific requirements such as reduced weight to reduce transport costs in rural Australia

Elaboration (1) ACTDIP019

following, modifying and describing the design of a game involving simple algorithms represented diagrammatically or in English, for example creating a flowchart with software that uses symbols to show decisions, processes and inputs and outputs

Elaboration (1) ACTDEP015

generating a range of design ideas for intended products, services, environments

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 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

Elaboration (4) ACTDEP017

comparing the amount of waste that would be produced from different design and development options and the potential for recycling waste

Elaboration ACTDEP036

using a variety of critical and creative thinking strategies such as brainstorming, sketching, 3-D modelling and experimenting to generate innovative design ideas

Elaboration (5) ACTDEK023

comparing the design and production of products, services and environments in Australia and a country in the Asia region

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 (1) ACTDIP011

using different design tools to record ways in which digital solutions will be developed, for example creating storyboards or flowcharts to record relationships or instructions about content or processes

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 (4) ACTDEP036

producing annotated concept sketches and drawings, using: technical terms, scale, symbols, pictorial and aerial views to draw environments; production drawings, orthogonal drawings; patterns and templates to explain design ideas

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 ACTDEK023

identifying the properties of materials for the design and construction of a sustainable household item, for example a product for storing harvested water

Elaboration ACTDIP028

designing the user interface of a solution using a range of design tools, for example using a storyboard to explain the stages of a game, and wire-frames and mock-ups to describe the appearance of a solution

Elaboration (4) ACTDEP049

producing drawings, models and prototypes to explore design ideas, for example using technical drawing techniques, digital imaging programs, 3D printers or augmented reality modelling software; producing multiple prototypes that show an understanding …
