Activity Procedures: 1-Students will analyze their Google SketchUp drawing of their bench. They will determine what materials they will need to build the bench they designed. 2-Students will go online to Home website and find the materials they need and Depot/Lowe’s write down the item # and unit cost. 3-Students will create a spreadsheet in Excel and will list the name of the materials, item #, the unit cost of the material, the total cost for each material and the total cost for the bench. Students will also list any tools that they will need to build the bench. Differentiation: This activity will help students with a variety of learning styles. First, students who learn best by seeing will use their Goggle SketchUp model to order the necessary materials. Students who are kinesthetic will benefit from having the boards available when ordering off of the website. Students who learn best with logical/mathematical will benefit from the Excel spreadsheet and having the list of the materials organized. Reflection: Reflect upon the successes and shortcomings of the lesson.
