TECHNOLOGIES
DEPARTMENT
EMERALD SHS
YEAR 9 TECHNOLOGIES SUBJECTS
• Materials and technologies specialisations (elective)
• Design and Technologies (elective)
• Engineering principles and systems (elective)
• Digital technologies (elective)
Materials and technologies specialisations
Materials
COST OF SUBJECT: $50
TOPICS COVERED: Students are involved in a broad range of traditional,
contemporary and emerging materials and specialist areas that typically involve
extensive use of technologies. Students develop the confidence to make ethical
and sustainable decisions about solutions and the processes used to make them:
Sem 1 Sem 2
• Serving Tray
• Solar Powered Car
• Technology Holder
• Mobile movement
Assessment
Students create design ideas, identify product processes and
justify decisions in a portfolio of their product. They select and
use appropriate technologies skilfully and safely to produce
high-quality designed products, evaluating final product.
Additional Information
• EXCURSIONS: Local Trade Workshops
• PATHWAY: Can lead to Engineering Skills, Furnishing Skills, Industrial Graphics and Design
• PRE-REQUISITE INFORMATION: Nil
• MATERIALS NECESSARY FOR THIS SUBJECT: Exercise book, red and blue pens, coloured pencils, ruler, eraser, pencils, glue stick, display folder, highlighters.
Design and technologies
Graphics and Design
COST OF SUBJECT: All costs covered by the Student Resource Scheme.
TOPICS COVERED: Students are involved in graphical communication of ideas
and concepts. They produce rendered, illustrated views for marketing and use
software to produce views of products:
Sem 1 Sem 2
• Cam Toy
• Furniture item
• Engineering item
• House plan
Assessment
Students plan and manage projects using a design digital
portfolio. Students create designed and establish criteria for
success, including sustainability considerations, and use these
to evaluate their ideas and designed solutions and processes.
They create and connect design ideas and processes of
increasing complexity and justify decisions.
Additional Information
• EXCURSIONS: Local Council, Drafting Business
• PATHWAY: Can lead to Engineering Skills, Furnishing Skills, Industrial Graphics and Design
• PRE-REQUISITE INFORMATION: Nil
• MATERIALS NECESSARY FOR THIS SUBJECT: Exercise book, red and blue pens, coloured pencils, ruler, eraser, pencils, glue stick, display folder, highlighters.
Engineering principles and systems
COST OF SUBJECT: All costs covered by the Student Resource Scheme
TOPICS COVERED: Students are involved in how forces can be used to create
light, sound, heat, movement, control or support in systems. Knowledge of these
principles and systems enables the design and production of sustainable,
engineered solutions.:
Sem 1 Sem 2
• Cam toy
• Robotics
• Engineering item
• Gearing
Assessment
Students will progressively develop knowledge and
understanding of how forces and the properties of materials
affect the behaviour and performance of designed engineering
solutions. Students create design ideas, identify product
processes, justify decisions and evaluate final product in a
portfolio of their product.
Additional Information
• EXCURSIONS: Local Trade Workshops
• PATHWAY: Can lead to Engineering Skills, Furnishing Skills, Industrial Graphics and Design, Science, Physics.
• PRE-REQUISITE INFORMATION: Nil
• MATERIALS NECESSARY FOR THIS SUBJECT: Exercise book, red and blue pens, coloured pencils, ruler, eraser, pencils, glue stick, display folder, highlighters.
Digital Technologies
COST OF SUBJECT: All costs covered by the Student Resource Scheme
TOPICS COVERED: Students consider the capacity of information
systems to systematically transform data into solutions that respond to the
needs of individuals, society, the economy and the environment :
Sem 1 Sem 2
• HTML coding
• Digital hardware (cameras)
• Coding robots
• 3D Printing
Assessment
Students plan and manage digital projects using a design digital
portfolio. Students design and evaluate user experiences and
test results. They evaluate information systems and their
solutions in terms of risk, sustainability and potential for
innovation and enterprise. They share and collaborate online,
establishing protocols for the use, transmission and
maintenance of data and projects.
