Who is the Jump Starting poster for?

Jump Starting belongs to the Practical skills section rather than to a school year, because life skills is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning the car can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.

When should you use the Jump Starting poster?

Last connection goes to a bare metal point on the dead car, not to its battery terminal. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Jump Starting belongs on the wall where that life skills work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
