This project involves a series of field trips or class visits designed to introduce students to various types of tools and the careers/jobs in which they are used. We will collaborate with at least four different businesses or individuals who will demonstrate the tools they use to the students.
The Big Ideas:
Tools make our work easier.
Tools help us create things.
There are many different kinds of tools, and choosing the right tool for the job is important.
Following each field trip, students will review the tools they were introduced to.
