-
asking questions about natural and managed environments and impacts on them when selecting materials, tools and equipment when designing and making products, for example harvesting products from the school garden and using recycled clothing
-
making design decisions based on personal and family needs, for example comparing recipes to suit available cooking facilities such as cooking in the bush compared to cooking in a kitchen
-
exploring and critiquing products, services and environments for their impact on sustainability, for example the environmental risks and benefits of a system for organically or hydroponically growing a vegetable crop from seed or seedling to harvest
