ICTs in Key Ideas eg Science Middle Years
Students select and use observational instruments and digital and electronic technologies to develop understandings about structures and events in the universe. They appraise, and share opinions about, the ethics of space exploration. [F] [In] [C] [KC2] [KC7]

ICTs in Standard Outcomes eg S&E Middle Years
Explicit in Key IdeaStudents access, investigate, interpret and represent information from field-work, electronic systems and other research, in order to explain local and global interactions and relationships between people and environments. [In] [T] [C] [KC1] [KC2]
Explicit in Standard Outcome4.5 Hypothesises, then collects, records, organises and evaluates data from field-work, print and electronic sources, in order to analyse local and global, environmental or socio-economic issues. [In] [T] [C] [KC2] [KC5] [KC6] [KC7]

Essential Learnings # 5: Communication
Explicit References inSACSA RationalEach Learning Area / Band Statement
eg Arts Middle Years
Literacy Numeracy & ICT in ArtsLearners develop and use operational skills in information and communication technologies to critically design and construct texts, search for and sort information, and communicate with others. Examples of this learning are evident in arts when students develop, produce and present animation, computer imaging, computer-aided design and digital and electronic recording.

Students apply their knowledge of the characteristics of materials and equipment when creating solutions and designing to meet criteria related to function, aesthetics, sustainability and production. [F] [In] [KC3] [KC6]
This includes such learning as:
developing detailed knowledge of the respective properties and potential of many materials, including data, in order to optimise production requirements for sustainable designs [F] [T]
