ACTDEK044
Investigate and make judgements on the ethical and sustainable production and marketing of food and fibre
Elaboration
- comparing the environmental impacts of intensive and extensive production systems and their contribution to food and fibre production
- examining emerging production technologies and methods in terms of productivity, profitability and sustainability, for example vertical farming, recirculation technologies in aquaculture
- examining the marketing chain of a range of agricultural products and outlining the effect of product processing and advertising on demand and price
- investigating how digital technologies could be used to enhance food production systems, for example global positioning system (GPS) for managing animals, crop sensors or automated animal feeding or milking
- investigating the interdependence of plants and animals in food and fibre production
- taking account of animal welfare considerations in food and fibre production enterprises
NSW NESA TEXTILES TECHNOLOGY 7–10 SYLLABUS (2019)
- investigate the potential impact textiles production has on the environment, for example: (ACTDEK044)
- pollution, eg fast fashion’s contribution to landfill
- recycling, eg plastic bottles recycled to make fabrics
- resource management, eg reducing toxic chemicals used in the dyeing process

Fun and engaging basic circuit Agent X basic circuit class pack.
Agent X pack includes:
- 30 colour printed Agent X cards
- 30Â LED light stickers tropical
- 1 x 10m x 5mm adhesive copper tape
- 30 3V lithium batteries
This activity is from The Happiness Missions Technology Mandatory – Material Technologies – Textiles Focus course. Each card has a clear, simple, visual layout that makes it easy for students to learn and engage with basic circuits. These cards use a guided diagram that allows students to easily follow to ensure their card lights up.
Additionally, this a simple, practical activity that could be used in primary and secondary classrooms to engage kinaesthetic learners allowing them to pass their Christmas card on to a friend or loved one.
Resource Type: Classroom activity.
Physical Product:Â Everything you need shipped to you.

Warning:
Swallowing lithium batteries can lead to serious injury or death. Keep in original package until ready to use. Dispose of used batteries immediately. Risk of injury due to fire, explosion or leakage. Do not disassemble, charge, crush or expose to fire or high temperatures.
These posters are aimed at exploring and breaking down the terms within the Technology Mandatory Syllabus – Digital Technologies. Including but not limited to digital systems, algorithm, binary, branching, user interface, pixels and iteration.
The poster format of these terms is broken down into a clear, simple and visual structure increasing literacy skills and learning in the classroom.
This resource pack includes 20 x A4 terminology posters and 20 comments that students match up. No need to worry, there is also a teacher answer sheet.
Pack includes:
- Teacher answer sheet
- 20 student comment match up pieces
- 20 A4 posters
- Digital systems
- Information system
- Algorithm
- Binary
- Branching
- Copyright
- Data
- Digital Footprint
- Decompose

To test their knowledge in a kinaesthetic manner student will Blu-tac the corresponding comment to the correct poster. This reinforces student’s knowledge of the terms within the Stage 4 Technology Mandatory-Digital Technologies syllabus
The Strategic Study Tools form the basis of the Flourish Generation program, which includes an online study course and downloadable resources. It is designed to help students in secondary schools, colleges and universities to understand how the brain works, recognise their own unique learning style and make the most of the time they spend learning, studying and revising. These tips are just a taste of the many strategies that could change the way you study.
Bring colour and comprehension to your classroom walls with 30 posters to help your students consolidate the theory component of the preliminary food technology syllabus. From functional properties to chemical structures, and covering carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and more, these posters support your delivery of the curriculum.
Food Technology concepts aren’t always easy to grasp. That’s why this poster pack has been specifically created to highlight the common areas that need reinforcing through visual cues. And while you’re facilitating practical lessons and project-based learning, you’ll be supported by these classroom resources as prompts for what you’ve taught your students in your theory lessons
Pack includes:
- 30 x A4 laminated posters
How to use these resources:
Use these posters support your teaching of:
- Properties of food and factors affecting functions. We’ve use tables, mind-maps, and explanatory visuals to focus on:
- protein – 5 posters covering coagulation, denaturing, aeration, gelation and browning.
- carbohydrates – 4 posters covering gelatinising, caramelising, crystalising and dextrinising
- lipids – 2 posters covering emulsifying and aerating
- Technical aspects of food and safety
- A pH chart poster and 3 chemical structure posters of carbs, lipids and protein (this is definitely best taught visually!)
- Water and fat soluble vitamin lists
- Food temperature zones including the danger zone
- The terminology hypothalamus
- Factors affecting food selection
- These 4 posters break the information into physiological, psychological, emotional, economic affecting factors.
- Key concepts using a mnemonic memory device – how to remember the order of digestion, and factors affecting the functional properties of food.
- Food preparation techniques and cooking methods
