Resource Description

The unit investigates Australian freshwater crayfish production and inludes two major aquaponics design options:

  • design and build an aquaponics system and then
  • automate it using control technologies.

The Yabby unit of work consists of six resources including a workbook, answer guide, teacher and parent lesson sequence guide, two major design folios and a teacher coding guide with example code for a possible automated aquaponics set-up at https://www.nswdpi-schools-program.com/yabby-unit

The unit includes guides for practical activities, in-class extension investigations, mini design projects with additional activities involving students growing, managing and making observations on aquaponic plants and freshwater crayfish.​

The unit is designed to cover outcomes from the NSW Technology Mandatory stage 4 Syllabus context areas Agricultural technologies, Engineered systems and Digital technologies, but has also been mapped for the Agricultural Technology Years 7-10 Syllabus and Marine and Aquaculture Technology, Years 7-10 Syllabus.
