Student Resources

Three resources have been created as a means to work through the content descriptors of:

Explore the characteristics and properties of materials and components that are used to produce designed solutions (ACTDEK004), and
Generate, develop and record design ideas through describing, drawing and modelling (ACTDEP006).
