purpose (ACSSU031)
Concept background
In everyday life, different materials are combined to suit needs and purposes. Everyday objects are often sustainable
materials that gives structural support and/or used to serve certain demands. Students should explore their local environment
and identify how specific materials are combined to make new products.
