Preparation

Do you ever look at something you own and think, “I wonder how they make this thing?” Well, since you have been learning about production and production processes in this module, you are going to investigate that very question here.

For Discussion

1. Go to the YouTube Channel How Things Are Made, or some other site where you can see how things are actually made. Select a product or thing, and watch the video and/or read the information provided.
2. Share with your classmates which product or thing you researched (please be sure to provide a link to the video or article, too).
3. Briefly explain the type of process used to make the product or thing (refer back to your course materials for the terminology).
4. Which part(s) of the process surprised you the most?—which part of the video/article made you think, “Ah, so that’s how they do it!”?
