Alguns exemplos relevantes:



Crime cometido com emprego de veneno, fogo, explosivo, tortura ou outro meio insidioso ou cruel, ou de que podia resultar perigo comum.

Na tentativa é possível atingir a consumação, pois os meios empregados pelo agente são idôneos, e o objeto material contra o qual se dirige a conduta é um bem jurídico suscetível de sofrer lesão ou perigo de lesão. Há, portanto, exposição do bem jurídico a dano ou perigo.

No crime impossível, por sua vez, o emprego de meios ineficazes ou o ataque a objetos impróprios inviabilizam a produção do resultado, inexistindo situação de perigo ao bem jurídico tutelado. (MASSON, p. 353)

Methods may also include certain objects, so "objects" instead of "method" may may be an option as well. There isn't enough context, so it may be a good idea to check with your client to see which translation works best.
