Set the pupils a DMA in which they manufacture a product with precision, observing health and safety regulations, and taking action to control identified risks. They should be required to use technical data to decide which materials are suitable for the task and to choose an appropriate method of making.
Example
This example DMA has been written so it can be copied and given directly to pupils. Further details and contexts can be added, as appropriate.
