ABLEWA Stage CTest
ABLEWA Stage C
ABLEWA C stage description
In Stage C students explore and investigate technologies, including its purpose and how technologies meet needs.
Students describe the characteristics and properties of familiar designed solutions from one of the technologies contexts:
- Engineering principles and systems
- Food and fibre production
- Food specialisations
- Materials and technologies specialisations.
With teacher support, students communicate simple design ideas. Students are introduced to different forms of evaluating designed solutions based on personal preferences.
Students, with teacher support, follow directions to complete their own or group design ideas or projects.
Knowledge and understanding
Technologies and society
Match familiar designed solutions to the personal needs they meet (VCDSTS007)
Technologies contexts
Examine and indicate the characteristics and properties of familiar designed solutions in at least two technologies contexts (VCDSTC008)
Processes and production skills
Creating Designed Solutions
Examine and indicate how designed solutions are created and produced safely to meet needs (VCDSCD009)
Achievement standard
By the end of Stage C, students use and identify the purpose of familiar designed solutions. They match some designed solutions to a need.
Students use designed solutions in at least two technologies contexts. With guidance, students reflect on created and produced designed solutions, developing ideas based on personal preferences. They begin to follow simple sequenced steps and teacher direction to use tools and equipment safely when producing designed solutions.
