6. Achievement Standards
6.1. Early Childhood (F-3)
6.1.1. By the end of Year 3 - Digital Technologies: - students identify roles people in design and technology have on the community - explore design development processes of products, services and environments. - students observe and recognise ways applied forces and properties of materials affect the behaviour of objects. - students identify equipment and simple processes used in food and fibre production from a range of environments, cultures or time periods. - students select and safely use suitable materials, tools and equipment to create design solutions.
6.1.2. By the end of year 3 - Design and Technology: - students create a sequence of steps to solve a given task - develop and communicate ideas using labelled drawings and appropriate technical terms. - select and safely use appropriate components with given equipment to make a solution. - use criteria to evaluate design processes and solutions developed. - work independently, or collaboratively to plan, safely create and communicate sequenced steps.
6.2. Year 4 - 6
6.2.1. By the end of Year 6: Digital Technologies: - students describe competing considerations in the design of products, services and environments, taking into account sustainability - describe how design and technologies contribute to meeting present and future needs - explain how the features of technologies impact on designed solutions for each of the prescribed technologies contexts
