Demonstrate understanding of basic concepts used to make products from resistant materials
You need to show you understand the basic ideas behind making things from tough materials like wood, metal, and plastics. This means knowing what these materials are like, understanding how to work with them safely, and being able to pick the right material and technique for a job.
You correctly describe what resistant materials are like and explain safe techniques, then pick suitable material and technique combinations for a given situation.
You explain *why* a material's properties affect which safe techniques you'd use, and justify why particular combinations of material and technique work best for the situation.
You discuss *why* resistant materials need certain techniques for safe handling, and compare how techniques and materials are combined differently across two or more different situations to show deeper thinking.
