Year 3 Technologies — AC v9
All 21 content descriptions for Year 3 Technologies in the Australian Curriculum Version 9, grouped by strand — each one links to its own page, and TeachKoala can turn any of them into a complete lesson (your first is free).
Achievement standard (what coverage means)
- •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.
- •Students process and represent data for different purposes.
- •Students securely access and use digital systems and their peripherals for a range of purposes, including transmitting data.
- •They follow and describe simple algorithms involving branching and iteration and implement them as visual programs.
- •Students plan and sequence steps and use technologies and techniques to safely produce designed solutions.
- •Students identify their personal data stored online and recognise the risks.
- AC9TDE4K01examine design and technologies occupations and factors including sustainability that impact on the design of products, services and environments to meet community needs

- AC9TDI4P07use the core features of common digital tools to share content, plan tasks, and collaborate, following agreed behaviours, supported by trusted adults
- AC9TDI4P08access their school account using a memorised password and explain why it should be easy to remember, but hard for others to guess
- AC9TDI4P09identify what personal data is stored and shared in their online accounts and discuss any associated risks
