Technologies in society - Reflect on the uses of
technologies (a product, service, or environment) in the
community.
Evaluating - Independently evaluate design ideas,
processes and solutions against existing products,
identified success criteria and sustainability.
Generating and designing - Generate, test and
communicate design ideas, plans and processes for various
audiences using appropriate technical terms and
technologies including graphical representation techniques.

Design and technologies - Food and fibre are Producing and implementing - Work safely with selected

produced in managed environments and prepared materials, components, tools, equipment and techniques to

to enable people to develop sustainable and healthy make a designed solution.

eating options.
Communicating - Communicate ideas, findings and
evidence-based solutions to problems using
scientific language and representations, using digital
representations as appropriate.
Investigating and defining - Adjust a simple design
brief, with analysis of the characteristics of existing
products, processes, systems and/or production
techniques.
Collaborating and managing - Use project
management processes when working individually
and collaboratively to document design solutions.

Australian Curriculum content descriptors from the
Technologies Curriculum.

Knowledge and Understanding

Investigate and make judgements on the ethical and
sustainable production and marketing of food and fibre.
Investigate and make judgements on how the
characteristics and properties of materials, systems,
components, tools and equipment can be combined to
create designed solutions.
Investigate and make judgements, within a range of
technologies specialisations, on how technologies can be
combined to create designed solutions.
Processes and Production Skills
Critique needs or opportunities to develop design briefs
and investigate and select an increasingly sophisticated
range of materials, systems, components, tools and
equipment to develop design ideas.
Develop, modify and communicate design ideas by
applying design thinking, creativity, innovation and
enterprise skills of increasing sophistication.
Work flexibly to effectively and safely test, select, justify
and use appropriate technologies and processes to
make designed solutions.
