Work in ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Copilot or any teacher AI tool. Replace the [BRACKETS]. Always review AI output for accuracy and safety before using it with students.

Create a 4-level rubric for welding shop safety: PPE (helmet shade, jacket, gloves, boots), ventilation/fumes, fire watch and hot work, cylinder handling, electrical safety, and work area. Each cell should be one observable behavior. Add a 'stop work' list of instant fails.

Write a 12-question quiz on weld defects (porosity, undercut, lack of fusion, cracking, spatter, overlap). For each, ask students to identify likely causes and corrections for [PROCESS, e.g. GMAW]. Include an answer key.

Generate 8 weld symbol reading exercises, each describing a symbol in words (arrow side/other side, fillet/groove, size, length, pitch, all-around, field weld). Ask students to sketch it and explain it. Provide answers.

Create a lesson comparing SMAW, GMAW, FCAW and GTAW: how each works, polarity, shielding, typical uses, pros/cons and a comparison table students fill in. Include a 5-question exit ticket.

Act as an AWS-certified welding instructor. Make a 3-week practice plan to prepare students for a [3G/4G, PROCESS] plate bend test: daily drills, common failure causes, how to self-inspect, and what the bend test looks for. Remind students to follow the actual test procedure their program uses.

A student's [GMAW] bead on [MATERIAL, THICKNESS] is [PROBLEM, e.g. ropey and convex]. Explain the likely settings or technique causes (voltage, wire speed, travel speed, angle, stickout) and step-by-step adjustments to try. Write it so a beginner can follow.

Explain heat-affected zone, preheat and distortion to beginning welding students with simple analogies, then 3 check questions with answers. Under 300 words.

Write a student project brief for a fabrication project: [PROJECT, e.g. a sawhorse / fire pit / tool rack]. Include a cut list template, required welds and joints, a time budget, quality criteria and a self-assessment checklist.

Create a 15-minute mini-lesson on welding fumes: what's in them, why galvanized and stainless need extra care, ventilation and respirator basics, and 3 discussion questions. Keep it accurate and tell students to follow the shop's SDS and policy.

List 8 welding career paths (pipeline, structural, underwater, inspection/CWI, robotics, etc.) with what the work is like, typical certifications, and one question students should research for each.
