• VCDTCD042

  Design algorithms represented diagrammatically and in English, and trace algorithms to predict output for a given input and to identify errors

  Elaborations

  • investigating and designing some common algorithms, such as to search, sequence, sort, merge and control data structures
  • checking the accuracy of an algorithm before it is implemented, for example desk checking it with test data to see if the instructions produce the expected results
  • using diagrams to describe key decisions, for example creating flowcharts using digital systems to describe a set of computational instructions
  • using structured English to express algorithmic instructions, for example using conventional statements such as ‘while’ and ‘endwhile’ in a ‘while loop’ when describing interactive instruction

  Investigate how and why food and fibre are produced in managed environments

  Elaborations

  • investigating and experimenting with different tools, equipment and methods of preparing soil and the effect on soil quality and sustainability, for example when designing a garden for a community group
  • identifying ways of applying, conserving and recycling nutrients in food and fibre production when designing a sustainable school vegetable garden or cropping area, for example composting and other forms of organic fertilisers
  • considering how low-input sustainable agriculture (LISA) is used in a range of environments including Australia and the countries of Asia
  • describing the relationship between plant types and animal breeds and their environmental suitability when selecting suitable plants or animals for an environment
