Project Planning and Production
Turning a design into a plan: materials list, sequence, time and cost.
- Materials lists and costing
- Cutting lists and waste minimisation
- Sequencing operations
NSW Industrial Technology Years 7-8 (Stage 4, Year 8) - project planning and production, tools and machines, evaluating a product - expressed in Dux teaching language.
Dux tracks each dot point separately, so “I did Industrial Technology Year 8” becomes a list of specific things you can already do and specific things you have never been asked. Open a module for all of its dot points, written out.
Turning a design into a plan: materials list, sequence, time and cost.
The machines that shape materials, and the processes behind common products.
Judging a finished product against its brief, its user and its cost.
A Industrial Technology Year 8 paper is not one question type repeated. Each command word asks for a different shape of answer, and each is worth a different number of marks.
| Command word | Question type | Marks |
|---|---|---|
| analyse | Short answer | 3–5 |
| describe | Short answer | 2–3 |
| evaluate | Extended response | 4–6 |
| explain | Short answer | 3–4 |
| identify | Multiple choice | 1 |
| select | Multiple choice | 1 |
Year 8 Assessment Task Shape — 50 marks, 75 minutes. Practice papers in Dux are assembled to this shape rather than invented, so the timing is training too.
Diagnostic first, then questions written in the shape this course uses. Written answers come back marked against the bands, not just scored.
