What it leans on most
States of Matter VocabularyMetal melts from solid to liquid when you weld.ScienceHeating experiments and Q = mcΔTHeat changes metal, so you control how hot it gets.ScienceUsing Tools SafelyA welding torch is very hot, so safety comes first.Design & TechnologyChoosing measurement unitsYou measure metal in the right units before cutting.MathematicsAngles in triangles (age 6+)You weld joints at the correct angle so pieces fit.Mathematics
The subjects behind it
Matter & MaterialsScience
Metal turns soft and joins when it gets hot.
EnergyScience
You use heat energy to melt and join metal.
Designing & MakingDesign & Technology
You use hot tools safely to make strong joints.
MeasurementMathematics
You measure metal before you cut and join it.
GeometryMathematics
You cut and join metal at set angles to make a strong part.
