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.

Offer a considered and balanced review that includes a range of arguments, factors or hypotheses. Opinions or conclusions should be presented clearly and supported by appropriate evidence.
