2. Next Generation Science/Common Core Standards Addressed! CCSS.ELALiteracy.RST.9‐10.4 Determine the meaning of symbols, key terms, and other domain‐specific words and phrases as they are used in a specific scientific or technical context relevant to grades 9–10 texts and topics. CCSS.ELALiteracy.RST.9‐10.7 Translate quantitative or technical information expressed in words in a text into visual form (e.g., a table or chart) and translate information expressed visually or mathematically (e.g., in an equation) into words. CCSS.ELALiteracy.RST.11‐12.9 Synthesize information from a range of sources (e.g., texts, experiments, simulations) into a coherent understanding of a process, phenomenon, or concept, resolving conflicting information when possible.

3. Agriculture, Food and Natural Resource Standards Addressed! • PST.01.02. Apply physical science and engineering principles to design, implement and improve safe and efficient mechanical systems in AFNR situations. • PST.01.02.02.a. Identify the tools, machines and equipment needed to construct and/or fabricate a project in AFNR.

5. Air Pressure Hose • A thick wall small diameter hose that carries compressed air from the tank or piping to the tool.
