This case study documents the planning and delivery of one of the two units making up a 'hands-on' Year 12 course designed to enthuse the students and develop their skills in working with wood as a material. It offered opportunity for the development of a range of student outcomes through technological practice, so allowing them to meet the assessment requirements of the selected Level 2 Technology achievement standards.

Teaching Strategies – Level 6/7

Brief Development

Support students to justify the physical and functional nature required of their outcome.

• Indicator: Students can communicate specifications that allow an outcome to be justified as fit for purpose

Outcome Development and Evaluation

Support students to develop drawing and modelling skills to communicate and explore design ideas.

• Indicator: students can undertake functional modelling to evaluate design ideas and develop and test a conceptual design to provide evidence of the proposed outcome's ability to be fit for purpose.

Construction and Mechanical Technologies

• Students can implement basic procedures using resistant materials to make a specified product

The chosen context encourages students to use and further develop their self - management skills in the task of effectively planning ahead and managing resources efficiently.
