  • Examine how people in design and technologies occupations address competing considerations, including sustainability in the design of products, services, and environments for current and future use (ACTDEK019)
  • Investigate how electrical energy can control movement, sound or light in a designed product or system (ACTDEK020)
  • Investigate how and why food and fibre are produced in managed environments and prepared to enable people to grow and be healthy (ACTDEK021)
  • Investigate characteristics and properties of a range of materials, systems, components, tools and equipment and evaluate the impact of their use (ACTDEK023)

During the activity, students work in teams to design and build their own windmill out of everyday items. Students will then test their windmill, evaluate their results, and present reflections to the class.
