WS01 - Design project: To market

Technologies, Design and Technologies, Years 9 and 10

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.

AC9TDE10P04

develop design criteria independently including sustainability to evaluate design ideas, processes and solutions

1. Identifies design criteria for each component of the design brief.

2. Recognises the weeds that may be an issue in the selected environment and suggests appropriate ways to control the weeds.

3. Lists a range of tomato varieties and presents comprehensive information logically and in an accessible form. 

 

4. Identifies growing conditions and suitable uses for different tomato varieties.

5. Generates ideas for the vegetable enterprise and presents ideas visually to reflect the portfolio theme. 

6. Draws orthogonal (multi-view) sketches of the proposed design.

7. Lists appropriate requirements.   

 

8. Justifies the choices for using selected materials.  

9. Considers what products will be available. 

 

10. Uses a camera to document available produce. 

 

11. Justifies the use of products to suit the needs of the community. 

12. Details the steps required for a marketing plan. 

 

13. Creates a survey to gather relevant data to inform decisions. 

14. Uses software to appropriately present data from survey results in visual displays. 

15. Uses design software to produce marketing material. 

16. Reflects on key aspects of the design criteria, discussing both positive features and opportunities for improvement.
