ABLEWA Stage D
ABLEWA D stage description
In Stage D students explore and investigate technologies, including its purpose and how technologies meet personal and social needs within local settings.
Students explore 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 and begin to evaluate designed solutions based on personal preferences.
Students begin to plan their design idea with teacher support, and follow simple steps and directions to complete their own or group design ideas or projects.
Knowledge and understanding
Technologies and society
Explore how people create familiar designed solutions and identify their ability to meet personal and local community needs (VCDSTS010)
Technologies contexts
Explore and communicate the characteristics and properties of familiar designed solutions in at least two technologies contexts (VCDSTC011)
Processes and production skills
Creating Designed Solutions
Explore and communicate how designed solutions are generated and produced to meet needs (VCDSCD012)
Achievement standard
By the end of Stage D, students describe the purpose of familiar designed solutions and what needs they meet.
Students use designed solutions in at least two technologies contexts, identifying significant features.
With guidance, students create designed solutions evaluating their ideas based on personal preferences. They select materials based on some understanding of their properties and characteristics. They follow simple sequenced steps to create a designed solution and demonstrate safe use of tools and equipment.
