Teach AC9TDE6P02 this week?
TeachKoala turns this descriptor into a complete lesson — illustrated slides with teacher notes, a differentiated activity sheet and a quiz — aligned to AC9TDE6P02 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.

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
- AC9TDE4P01explore needs or opportunities for designing, and test materials, components, tools, equipment and processes needed to create designed solutions
- AC9TDE4P02generate and communicate design ideas and decisions using appropriate attributions, technical terms and graphical representation techniques, including using digital tools
- AC9TDE4P03select and use materials, components, tools, equipment and techniques to safely make designed solutions
Builds towards · Years 7–8
- AC9TDE8P01analyse needs or opportunities for designing, and investigate and select materials, components, tools, equipment and processes to create designed solutions
