Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)
Research-Based Learning: Learners in mixed-ability groups research on the mechanical properties of bamboo (such as compressive strength, hardness, tensile strength, and flexural strength) and discuss their results in class for feedback. Teaching and Learning Materials: - Textbooks - Library resource - Internet access - Tensile test machine Assessment (3.1.2.AS.1). The document marks these depth-of-knowledge levels for this indicator: Level 1 Recall; Level 4 Extended critical thinking and reasoning.
