Producing and implementing

This Content Descriptor from Year 9 Technologies provides the specific knowledge and skills students should learn. Use it to plan lessons, create learning sequences, and design assessments that align with the Australian Curriculum v9.

Content Descriptor

select, justify, test and use suitable technologies, skills and processes, and apply safety procedures to safely make designed solutions

Elaborations

  • • refining technical skills and using production skills with independence to produce quality designed solutions and reducing risks in production with appropriate, safe working practices required for a specific design project, for example independently setting up a lathe and wearing appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) to produce a part to specified dimensions
  • • using materials, components, tools, equipment and techniques safely and considering alternatives to maximise sustainability, for example using timber because it stores carbon and offsets the demand for alternative products
  • • experimenting with innovative combinations and ways of manipulating traditional and contemporary materials, components, tools, equipment and techniques, and recording findings in a collaborative space to debate the merits of each with peers
  • • modifying production processes to respond to opportunities, risks or unforeseen challenges, for example when producing bulk quantities of recipes in terms of workload and coordination, the impact of lower-than-average rainfalls on crop growth or using materials with unexpected faults
  • • experimenting with the functional and sensory properties of food to determine the most successful approach, for example preparing vegetables 3 different ways to maximise colour, flavour and nutritive value

Achievement Standard This Supports

This Content Descriptor contributes to the following Achievement Standard:

Year 9 ASTECTDEY910
Year 9 Technologies Achievement Standard
By the end of Year 10 students explain how people consider factors that impact on design decisions and the technologies used to design and produce products, services and environments for sustainable living. They explain the contribution of innovation, enterprise skills and emerging technologies to global preferred futures. For one or more of the technologies contexts, students explain the features of technologies and their appropriateness for purpose, and create designed solutions based on an analysis of needs or opportunities. Students create, adapt and refine design ideas, processes and solutions and justify their decisions against developed design criteria that include sustainability. They communicate design ideas, processes and solutions to a range of audiences, including using digital tools. Students independently and collaboratively develop and apply production and project management plans, adjusting processes when necessary. They select and use technologies skilfully and safely to produce designed solutions.
