Content (NSW Education Standards Authority, 2017)
Knowledge and Understanding
 investigate ways that advances in science and technology have assisted people to plan for and manage natural disasters to minimise
their effect
 collect, store and interpret different types of data, for example using sensors to collect data
Working Scientifically
 present data as evidence in developing explanations (ACSIS218, ACSIS221)
 communicate ideas, explanations and processes, using scientific representations including multimodal forms (ACSIS093, ACSIS110)
Design and Production
 research, identify and define design ideas and processes for an audience
 develop, record and communicate design ideas, decisions and processes using appropriate technical terms
 produce labelled and annotated drawings including digital graphic representations for an audience (ACTDEP025)
 manage projects within time constraints
 develop solutions through trialing and refining using iterations (ACTDIP019)
 develop project plans that consider resources when producing designed solutions individually and collaboratively (ACTDEP028)
 work collaboratively to share, appraise and improve ideas to achieve design purposes
 identify, organise and perform strategic roles within a group to solve a problem
 acquire, store, access and validate different types of data, and use a range of software to present, interpret and visualise data
