Consider a procedure such as changing a car’s tire or replacing a bicycle tire, and list the necessary steps and tools needed for each step. Devise alternative sequences for performing the same task.

What will be an ideal response?


In this situation, students need to think about each step since they will often skip over steps. In changing a tire, reading the repair manual may be the first step. The car needs to be positioned so it can be jacked up without rolling. The spare needs to be located and removed and placed near the tire to be replaced. The jack needs to be found and removed from its location in the car, inserted or located to jack up the car; and cranked until the car begins to lift. The lug nuts need to be loosened, with the car rising until the tire clears the ground sufficiently for an infl ated tire to be put on. The lug nuts need to be removed, the tire removed, the new tire placed on the car, and the lug nuts put back on and tightened, going around several times. The car needs to be lowered until the tire just touches the ground, the lug nuts securely tightened, the jack cranked down, and then removed from the car. The fl at tire and the jack are placed in the car.
