Apply knowledge or rules to put theory into practice.

Give a detailed account or picture of a situation, event, pattern or process.

Produce a plan, simulation or model.

Give a detailed account including reasons or causes.

Break down in order to bring out the essential elements or structure. To identify parts and relationships, and to interpret information to reach conclusions.
