What Year 3 Technologies students should achieve
Coverage is judged against the achievement standard — not by ticking every content description. These are the official Year 3 Technologies standard sentences this code builds towards:
- Students select design ideas against design criteria.
- For each of the 2 prescribed technologies contexts they describe the features and uses of technologies and create designed solutions.
- By the end of Year 4 students create simple digital solutions and use provided design criteria to check if solutions meet user needs.
- By the end of Year 4 students describe how people design products, services and environments to meet the needs of people, including sustainability.
- They communicate design ideas using models and drawings including annotations and symbols.
- They use the core features of common digital tools to plan, create, locate and share content, and to collaborate, following agreed behaviours.
The Knowledge and understanding progression either side of AC9TDE4K03
A class can only meet this descriptor if they were taught the one before it. If yours hasn't, that's where the lesson starts — not here.
Taught before · Years 1–2
- AC9TDE2K01identify how familiar products, services and environments are designed and produced by people to meet personal or local community needs and sustainability
- AC9TDE2K02explore how technologies including materials affect movement in products
- AC9TDE2K03explore how plants and animals are grown for food, clothing and shelter
Builds towards · Years 5–6
- AC9TDE6K01explain how people in design and technologies occupations consider competing factors including sustainability in the design of products, services and environments
- AC9TDE6K02explain how electrical energy can be transformed into movement, sound or light in a product or system
- AC9TDE6K03explain how and why food and fibre are produced in managed environments
Other Year 3 Knowledge and understanding codes
- AC9TDE4K01examine design and technologies occupations and factors including sustainability that impact on the design of products, services and environments to meet community needs
- AC9TDE4K02describe how forces and the properties of materials affect function in a product or system
- AC9TDE4K04describe the ways food can be selected and prepared for healthy eating
