We did we do with all this information? Each student was now an expert on his or her own material, and they spent some time sharing the best qualities of those materials. Then we formed construction companies to bid on six projects, explaining which materials they'd choose for each project and why. Finally they pitched their proposals to the potential client.
The companies had six projects to consider, a tree house, playhouse, doghouse, deck storage box, 72 hour emergency kit box, and a Boy Scout Camp Kitchen box.
The companies:
Dream Team Builders
Sande's Workshop "You dream it, we build it. Your dreams come to life. The budget is just right.".
JDCY Building Services "Five Stars for customer service."
Bobhead Houses "I know where you live."
NNGAT Building and Waffles "We are building da magic."
Quakar Jacks "We can fix any quack."'
Awesome Builders "We pick the right materials."
Tree House Experts "We make your tree house awesome."
Sample bid (from Quakar Jacks)
Camp Kitchen: aluminum flashing goes on the inside because it is not flammable and it is light weight
acrylic: cover all aluminum on the outside, insulator, not real flammable, repels oil and water, very light
linoleum
