Indicators of Progression for Technology Learning Objectives

Processing Technologies

Processing technology focuses on formulating and knowing how to formulate processed products. Processing is relevant to food technology, biotechnology, chemical technology and agricultural technologies. Students develop understanding and skill in the combining of materials/ingredients to formulate a new product.

The components of Processing Technologies are:

Formulate a Processed Product

Formulating a processed product requires student to combine materials/ingredients to formulate a food, chemical or biotechnological product.
See Learning Objectives and Teacher Guidance

Knowledge of Formulating a Processed Product
