Year 7 Technologies ASTECTDEY78

This Achievement Standard describes what students are expected to know and do in Year 7 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.

By the end of Year 8 students explain how people design, innovate and produce products, services and environments for preferred futures. For each of the 4 prescribed technologies contexts they explain how the features of technologies impact on design decisions, and create designed solutions based on analysis of needs or opportunities. Students create and adapt design ideas, processes and solutions, and justify their decisions against developed design criteria that include sustainability. They communicate design ideas and solutions to audiences using technical terms and graphical representation techniques, including using digital tools. They independently and collaboratively document and manage production processes to safely produce designed solutions.
