Fourth is Apply: Use information in new situations; Execute, implement, solve, use, demonstrate, interpret, operate, schedule, sketch. Fifth is Understand: Explain ideas or concepts; Classify, describe, discuss, explain, identify, locate, recognize, report, select, translate. And sixth, forming the bottom or base of the pyramid and representing the lowest order, is Remember: Recall facts and basic concepts; Define, duplicate, list, memorize, repeat, state.
