Design Technologies - My Australian Bug Hotel: 10 Lesson Plans + 1 Summative Assessment Task and FREE Student DESIGN PORTFOLIO (Year 3)

Your 'Australian Bug Hotel Project' Unit for Design & Technologies is Here!

Tired of endless lesson prep and creating project materials from scratch? Our Design & Technologies - Australian Bug Hotel Project Unit delivers ready-to-use, Australian Curriculum-aligned resources covering material properties, forces, sustainability, and the entire design process.

Benefit from:

• Effortless Delivery: Clearly defined objectives and explicit teaching content make lesson delivery smooth and confident, guiding students through key technologies concepts, from investigating the properties of materials and understanding forces, to producing and evaluating their own designed solution.
• Engaging Activities: From conducting a "Material Detectives" investigation, to drawing a "Pollinator Palace Blueprint," and presenting a final "Palace Pitch," ignite curiosity and cater to diverse learners with hands-on experiences that bring the design process to life.
• Natural Assessment: Embedded formative assessment opportunities within activities allow you to easily monitor student progress as they justify their material choices, document their construction process in a design portfolio, and evaluate their final prototypes against success criteria.
• Extension Included: Thoughtfully designed extension tasks challenge advanced learners to research the specific nesting needs of local native bees or to redesign their palace for a larger community project.
• Real-World Connections: Connect students' understanding of design to a real-world community need, tackling the problem of pollinator habitat loss across Australia and building a strong foundation for understanding sustainability, environmental impact, and future-focused careers.

BONUS! FREE Student Design Portfolio: This unit includes a ready-to-print (or use digitally) Student Design Portfolio, directly aligned with each lesson, saving you even more preparation time and providing a valuable, structured way for students to document their entire design journey.
