What is a reusable water bottle?
Which is generally more sustainable: a disposable water bottle or a reusable water bottle?
What are reliable sources?
Research questions should be answered using these sources.
What are the fulcrum and the load?
In a third-class lever, the effort is located between these two parts.
Name one design criterion a fishing rod should meet.
lightweight, durable, sustainable, comfortable, repairable, or strong?
What is Environmental Sustainability?
Toys made from recycled plastic are mainly an example of this type of sustainability.
What are single-use plastic bottles?
These are often considered less sustainable because they create large amounts of waste.
Why is the place where someone fishes important?
The location where a person fishes can affect the types of fish they catch and the experience they enjoy.

Designers need to learn about the people who will use a fishing rod so they can create a rod that meets their needs and works effectively.
Explain how a fishing rod works as a lever when catching a fish.
The hand acts as the fulcrum, effort is applied through the rod, and the fish is the load.
Why must designers complete a risk assessment?
To identify hazards and manage risks so people can work safely.
