Digital Technologies: Stage 3

Picture
Click to download the NEW unit of work
KLA Links
This unit integrates with Stage 3 outcomes in
  • Mathematics - patterns & algebra, angles and position
  • English - speaking and listening
This unit focuses on understanding the role of individual components of digital systems play in processing and representing data. Students design, modify and follow algorithms involving branching and iteration. This unit further develops students’ knowledge and understanding of project management, abstraction and the relationship between models and the real-world systems they represent.

This unit of work covers NSW Science & Technology outcomes:
ST3-1WS-S Working Scientifically
plans and conducts scientific investigations to answer testable questions, and collects and summarises data to communicate conclusions
ST3-2DP-T Design & Production
plans and uses materials, tools and equipment to develop solutions for a need or opportunity
ST3-3DP-T Design & Production
defines problems, and designs, modifies and follows algorithms to develop solutions
ST3-11DI-T Digital Technologies
explains how digital systems represent data, connect together to form networks and transmit data​
