Official content description
explain how people in design and technologies occupations consider competing factors including sustainability in the design of products, services and environments
Teach AC9TDE6K01 this week?
TeachKoala turns this descriptor into a complete lesson — illustrated slides with teacher notes, a differentiated activity sheet and a quiz — aligned to AC9TDE6K01 specifically, never an invented code. Your first lesson is free.

What Year 5 Technologies students should achieve
Coverage is judged against the achievement standard — not by ticking every content description. These are the official Year 5 Technologies standard sentences this code builds towards:
- They process data and show how digital systems represent data.
- By the end of Year 6 students explain how people design products, services and environments to meet the needs of communities, including sustainability.
- Students select and justify design ideas and solutions against design criteria that include sustainability.
- For each of the 3 prescribed technologies contexts they explain how the features of technologies impact on design decisions and they create designed solutions.
- Students select and use appropriate digital tools effectively to plan, create, locate and share content, and to collaborate, applying agreed conventions and behaviours.
- Students develop project plans, including production processes, and select technologies and techniques to safely produce designed solutions.
The Knowledge and understanding progression either side of AC9TDE6K01
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 3–4
- 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
- AC9TDE4K03describe the ways of producing food and fibre
Builds towards · Years 7–8
- AC9TDE8K01analyse how people in design and technologies occupations consider ethical and sustainability factors to design and produce products, services and environments
- AC9TDE8K02analyse the impact of innovation and the development of technologies on designed solutions for global preferred futures
- AC9TDE8K03analyse how force, motion and energy are used to manipulate and control engineered systems
Other Year 5 Knowledge and understanding codes
- 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
- AC9TDE6K04explain how the characteristics of foods influence selection and preparation for healthy eating
- AC9TDE6K05explain how characteristics and properties of materials, systems, components, tools and equipment affect their use when producing designed solutions
