Elaboration (2) ACTDEK002

selecting materials to demonstrate how material properties are appropriate for particular designed solutions, for example materials that enable sliding or floating

Elaboration (1) ACTDEK004

developing new meanings for objects and action during play, for example exploring how household packaging can be used to represent other objects

exploring opportunities around the school for designing solutions, for example how school play areas could be improved; how the school removes classroom waste and identifying opportunities to reduce, recycle and re-use materials; reviewing the school …

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 (2) ACTDEP007

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

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 (2) ACTDEK020

investigating the features of electrical devices such as switches, light globes and sensors

Elaboration (1) ACTDEP027

evaluating the suitability of materials, tools and equipment for specific purposes

Elaboration (1) ACTDEP018

managing time and resource allocation throughout production, for example materials, tools, equipment and people

Elaboration (1) ACTDEP026

working safely, responsibly and cooperatively to ensure safe work areas, for example the safe use of equipment when making a water-resistant, floating craft or a model of an environmentally sensitive outdoor shelter

Elaboration (1) ACTDEP050

using materials, components, tools, equipment and techniques safely and considering alternatives to maximise sustainability, for example using timber because it stores carbon and offsets the demand for alternative products

Elaboration (1) ACTDEP049

undertaking functional, structural and aesthetic analyses of benefits and constraints of design ideas, for example to different communities and environments including those from the countries of Asia

Elaboration (2) ACTDEP017

evaluating the functional and aesthetic qualities of a designed solution

Elaboration (2) ACTDEP024

identifying the importance of complementary parts of working, everyday systems by deconstructing the components, structure and purpose of products, services or environments

Elaboration (2) ACTDEP049

re-imagining designs to feature emerging technologies

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

Elaboration (1) ACTDEK045

conducting sensory assessment testing of a range of foods to determine how these characteristics might be used to enhance food solutions, for example taste testing a variety of milks, comparing freshly squeezed juice to commercial juices

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 (2) ACTDEK033

investigating how a recipe can be modified to enhance health benefits, and justifying decisions, for example by replacing full cream milk with skim milk
