This Design and Technologies resource has been developed to inspire educators about how aspects of Design and Technologies can be introduced and taught to students in the Foundation years up to Year 2. This resource in particular will allow Year 2 students to explore materials and objects that can be used and substituted when creating a design plan for particular products that serve unique purposes. By participating in such activities, students are enabled to deconstruct the big picture and recognise the specific purpose of smaller elements such as the materials used that ultimately construct the overall product.
