Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)
1. Explain why specific tools are used to work on specific resistant materials. E.g. Saws designed for woodwork should not be used to cut metals else the cutting edge will become blunt. 2. Relate the correct safety precautions to the appropriate process in working with resistant materials when making an artefact. E.g. - When planning wood, check that the plane is sharp and correctly set. - When using sharp edged tools, always keep both hands behind the cutting edge. - Fix the hacksaw blade such that the teeth point away from the handle/ operator.
