Content Descriptor Number
Inspired by AC9TDE4K02 of the Australian Curriculum Version 9.0, material in this section may help your child describe how forces and the properties of materials affect function in a product or system. It may also help further understanding in:
- researching how First Nations Australians consider buoyant forces as they select materials for watercraft, for example making bark or dugout canoes (AC9TDE4K02_E1)
- looking at models to identify how materials are used and movement is created, for example in the design of a toy with wheels or moving parts (AC9TDE4K02_E2)
- exploring through play how movement can be started by combining materials and using forces, for example releasing a wound rubber band to propel a model boat, how different materials may impact a marble roll speed, or how various surfaces from carpet to grass to concrete might affect a robot’s movement (AC9TDE4K02_E3)
- deconstructing a product or system to identify how motion and forces affect performance, for example in a puppet such as a Japanese bunraku puppet or a model windmill with moving sails (AC9TDE4K02_E4)
- identifying engineered systems and experimenting with available local materials, tools and equipment to solve problems, for example designing a container or parachute that will keep an egg intact when dropped from a height; a pop-up card; a tower; or a vehicle (AC9TDE4K02_E5)
