Learning to acquire, modify and produce information in different forms

Understand and use electrical systems in their products [for example, series circuits incorporating switches, bulbs, buzzers and motors].

Understand and use mechanical systems in their products [for example, gears, pulleys, cams, levers and linkages].

Evaluate their ideas and products against their own design criteria and consider the views of others to improve their work.

Select from and use a wider range of materials and components, including construction materials, textiles and ingredients, according to their functional properties and aesthetic qualities.

Generate, develop, model and communicate their ideas through discussion, annotated sketches, cross-sectional and exploded diagrams, prototypes, pattern pieces and computer-aided design.

Use research and develop design criteria to inform the design of innovative, functional, appealing products that are fit for purpose, aimed at particular individuals or groups.

Explore and use mechanisms [for example, levers, sliders, wheels and axles], in their products.

Evaluate their ideas and products against design criteria build structures, exploring how they can be made stronger, stiffer and more stable.

Select from and use a wide range of materials and components, including construction materials, textiles and ingredients, according to their characteristics explore and evaluate a range of existing products.

Generate, develop, model and communicate their ideas through talking, drawing, templates, mock-ups and, where appropriate, information and communication technology.

Design purposeful, functional, appealing products for themselves and other users based on design criteria.

MS-ETS1-2. Evaluate competing design solutions using a systematic process to determine how well they meet the criteria and constraints of the problem.

K-2-ETS1-3. Analyze data from tests of two objects designed to solve the same problem to compare the strengths and weaknesses of how each performs.

K-2-ETS1-2. Develop a simple sketch, drawing, or physical model to illustrate how the shape of an object helps it function as needed to solve a given problem.

K-2-ETS1-1. Ask questions, make observations, and gather information about a situation people want to change to define a simple problem that can be solved through the development of a new or improved object or tool.

3-5-ETS1-3. Plan and carry out fair tests in which variables are controlled and failure points are considered to identify aspects of a model or prototype that can be improved.

3-5-ETS1-2. Generate and compare multiple possible solutions to a problem based on how well each is likely to meet the criteria and constraints of the problem.

3-5-ETS1-1. Define a simple design problem reflecting a need or a want that includes specified criteria for success and constraints on materials, time, or cost.

Undertake creative projects that involve selecting, using, and combining multiple applications, preferably across a range of devices.

Understand the hardware and software components that make up computer systems.

Learn to evaluate and apply information technology, including new or unfamiliar technologies, analytically to solve problems.

Design, use and evaluate computational abstractions that model the state and behaviour of real-world problems and physical systems.

Create, re-use, revise and re-purpose digital artefacts for a given audience, with attention to trustworthiness, design and usability.

Design, write and debug programs that accomplish specific goals, including controlling or simulating physical systems; solve problems by decomposing them into smaller parts.
