Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

Research-Based Learning: Learners in mixed-ability groups research on cutting tools for woodwork, metalwork and machining, and present their results in class for feedback.
Experiential Learning: Show learners cutting tools at the workshop and lead them to classify the cutting tools according to their use (e.g., milling, boring, drilling, grinding, shaping, planing, broaching etc.) and cutting-edge type such as (single-point cutting tool, double-point cutting tool and multi-point cutting tool).
