Apply: Application allows students to use new knowledge and solve problems to new situations by applying acquired knowledge, facts, techniques and rules in a different way to show; complete; use; examine; illustrate; classify; and solve.

Analyse: Application allows students to examine and break information into parts by identifying motives or causes; make inferences and find evidence to support generalisations; and compare; examine; explain; identify; categorise; contrast; and investigate. Evaluate: Application allows students to present and defend opinions by making judgments about information, validity of ideas or quality of work based on a set of criteria to justify; assess; prioritise; recommend; rate; decide; and choose.

Create: Application allows students to plan; invent; compose; design; construct; imagine.
