explore how technologies including materials affect movement in products (AC9TDE2K02)

Elaborations
  • investigating First Nations Australians’ instructive toys and how such toys are designed and made to produce movement, for example propeller toys made from pandanus across northern Australia
  • selecting materials to show how material properties are appropriate for particular designed solutions, for example materials that enable sliding, floating or flying
  • exploring how to manipulate materials using a range of tools, equipment and techniques to create movement, for example when constructing a toy boat that floats or a kite that flies
  • exploring a system such as a marionette or Indonesian wayang kulit shadow puppet to see that by combining materials with forces movement can be created
  • testing materials to see how they affect movement and speed, for example the movement of a wheeled toy on different surfaces such as timber, carpet, rubber and plastic
