Year 1 Design Technologies Achievement Standard – Australian Curriculum v9
This Achievement Standard describes what students are expected to know and do in Year 1 Technologies by the end of the year. Teachers can use it to guide assessment design, collect evidence of learning, and ensure planning stays aligned with the Australian Curriculum v9.
What Students Should Know
By the end of Year 2 students describe the purpose of familiar products, services and environments. For each of the 2 prescribed technologies contexts they describe the features and uses of technologies and create designed solutions. Students select design ideas based on their personal preferences. They communicate design ideas using models and drawings and follow sequenced steps to safely produce designed solutions.
