Technological Practice
Students will:

Planning for practice
• Develop a plan that identifi es the key stages and the resources required to complete an outcome.

Brief development
• Explain the outcome they are developing and describe the attributes it should have, taking account of the need or opportunity and the resources available.

Outcome development and evaluation
• Investigate a context to develop ideas for potential outcomes. Evaluate these against the identifi ed attributes; select and develop an outcome. Evaluate the outcome in terms of the need or opportunity.

Technological Knowledge
Students will:

Technological modelling
• Understand that functional models are used to explore, test, and evaluate design concepts for potential outcomes and that prototyping is used to test a technological outcome for fi tness of purpose.

Technological products
• Understand that there is a relationship between a material used and its performance properties in a technological product.

Technological systems
• Understand that there are relationships between the inputs, controlled transformations, and outputs occurring within simple technological systems.

Nature of Technology
Students will:

Characteristics of technology
• Understand that technology both reflects and changes society and the environment and increases people’s capability.
