Year 4
In Years 3–4 (typically 8–10 years of age), students become more concerned with the social and environmental use of technologies in
their local, national and global communities for a range of purposes and users, including for community-based work.

Students explore the designed world and recognise that they can be both users and creators of technology. They identify and understand the characteristics
of a range of resources (information, materials and/or systems) and assess their suitability for a specific purpose and context. They investigate the
characteristics of Australian resources and their impact on technology products and processes of the past and present. They understand
that technology can contribute to many different kinds of activities, including work and leisure.
They are aware that people of all ages and backgrounds choose to work in technology-related fields. Students use the essential processes of
Ways of working to develop and demonstrate their Knowledge and understanding. They develop their ability to work technologically by generating, assessing and communicating design ideas and by selecting, manipulating and processing resources, to individually and collaboratively design and make products. They analyse how
technology and its products and processes impact on people, their environments and local communities. They reflect on their learning and evaluate products and processes.
Students select and use tools and technologies, including information and communication technologies (ICTs), in purposeful ways. They use ICTs as an integral
component of their learning, to inquire, create and communicate within technology contexts.
Students demonstrate evidence of their learning over time in relation to the following assessable elements:
• knowledge and understanding
• investigating and designing
• producing
• evaluating
• reflecting
