In this standard, you'll choose and use practical problem-solving methods to investigate a technology topic that matters to your community. Your methods need to be appropriate for the problem, and you'll produce a clear result or solution. You're essentially learning how to tackle a real-world technology challenge using logical, well-chosen steps.

- ·Select and apply appropriate practical methods or procedures to investigate and solve the problem
- ·Organise your investigation clearly using tables, diagrams, photos, videos, or written records to show your thinking and steps
- ·Document your findings carefully so others can understand what you did and what you discovered
- ·Produce a clear practical result or outcome that directly comes from your chosen methods
You choose a relevant technology problem and use practical methods that work toward a solution, recording your process clearly so others follow what you did.
Your methods are well-chosen and carefully planned for the specific problem, your documentation is detailed and systematic (using tables, diagrams, or organised records), and your result shows clear connection to your investigation steps.
