DESCRIPTION
Our Project-based learning through Design and Technologies series is designed to help teach students the content, skills and processes outlined by the Australian Curriculum Design and Technologies learning area. Through hands-on, real-world projects, four themes are covered - food and cooking, clothing and textiles, building and construction, and technological advancements. Get your students engaged and develop their process and production skills.
Year 5 features:
- Contains a variety of real-life projects across the units of Food and cooking, Clothing and textiles, Building and construction and Technological advancements.
- Enable students to use innovative thinking as they collaborate to design and create solutions to modern-day scenarios.
