Synthesis or evaluation, the fifth level of cognitive learning, is the ability not only to break down and understand the elements of a situation but also to form elements into a new whole. Synthesis combines all of the earlier levels of cognitive learning to culminate in the production of a unique plan or solution. The objective with the verb "create" demonstrates this level. Being able to compare foods of varying salt content reflects analysis. Practicing eating meals demonstrates application. Listing foods demonstrates knowledge.
