Teach AC9TDE6K03 this week?
TeachKoala turns this descriptor into a complete lesson — illustrated slides with teacher notes, a differentiated activity sheet and a quiz — aligned to AC9TDE6K03 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 AC9TDE6K03
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
- 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
- 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
