You will be presented images or diagrams of various container types and given a
worksheet to complete. While doing the images/diagrams complete the worksheet by providing
the following information concerning the containers: identify the container by name, by
container type, by possible product class, by physical state of the product and any special
features/considerations. You will begin on my instruction to start. The skill will end when you
state to me that you have completed all of the identified steps. Do you understand these
instructions?
