Materials and Tools
Broad Concept: Appropriate materials, tools, and machines extend our ability to solve problems and invent.
| 1.1 | Identify materials used to accomplish a design task based on a specific property, i.e., weight, strength, hardness, and flexibility. |
| 1.2 | Identify and explain the appropriate materials and tools (e.g., hammer, screwdriver, pliers, tape measure, screws, nails, and other mechanical fasteners) to construct a given prototype safely. |
| 1.3 | Identify and explain the difference between simple and complex machines, e.g., hand can opener that includes multiple gears, wheel, wedge gear, and lever. |
