Product Design and Technology TYS & TYS-VS*

Our exclusive Teach Yourself Series (TYS) and Teach Yourself Video Series (TYS-VS) are available for Product Design and Technology.
.
Our expert teachers have identified the most important topics that require a high level of understanding to ensure success in Units 1 to 4 of Product Design and Technology and have created:

  1. the Teach Yourself Series: A detailed review of each key topic in Physics, including a comprehensive content review, questions and corresponding solutions and explanations as separate booklets on each key topic.
  2. the Teach Yourself Video Series: An effective, engaging and concise video tutorial (30 to 90 minute tutorials on each topic) on each key topic providing detailed explanations on the key examinable areas of the study design to assist students to master one topic at a time.
     

The TYS and TYS-VS are designed to emphasise and consolidate the critical aspects of each topic ensuring that students are learning, remembering and understanding the key content examined by the VCAA, and are able to progressively do this throughout the year as each topic is learned.

The following topics are available for the current Product Design and Technology study design:

  • Topic 1 - Introduction to Product Design (Units 1, 2, 3 & 4)
