Design Technology

Learning Intentions

Knowledge and Understanding

  • I am learning to describe some competing considerations in the design of products, services and environments taking into account sustainability.
  • I am learning to describe how design and technologies contribute to meeting present and future needs.
  • I am learning to explain how the features of technologies impact on design solutions for each of the technology context.

Processes and Production

  • I am learning to create design solutions for each of the prescribed technologies context suitable for identified needs or opportunities.
  • I am learning to suggest criteria for success, including sustainability considerations and use these to evaluate my ideas and design solutions.
  • I am learning to combine design ideas and communicate these to audiences using graphical representations techniques and technical terms.
  • I am learning to record project plans including production processes.
  • I am learning to select and use appropriate technologies and techniques correctly and safely to produce designed solutions.

Success Criteria

Technologies and society

  • I can investigate how people in design and technologies occupations address competing considerations, including sustainability in the design of products and environments for current and future use.

Food Specialisations

  • I can investigate the role of food preparation in maintaining good health and hygiene

Materials and technologies specialisations

  • I can investigate characteristics and properties of a range of materials, tools and equipment and evaluate the impact of their use.

Investigating

  • I can critique needs or opportunities for designing, and investigate materials, components, tools, equipment and processes to achieve intended design solutions.

Generating

  • I can generate, develop, communicate and document design ideas and processes for audiences using appropriate technical terms and graphical representation techniques.

Producing

  • I can apply safe procedures when using a variety of materials, components, tools, equipment and techniques to make design solutions.

Evaluating

  • I can negotiate criteria for success that include consideration of sustainability to evaluate design ideas, processes and solutions.

Collaborating and managing

  • I can develop project plans that include consideration of resources when making design solutions individually and collaboratively.
