Part of Lesson Plan: Project - Wood Sawhorse

Activity Overview / Details

Over the next few days the students will work in the shop constructing their sawhorse.  Supply a set of plans to each student.  The plans contain pertinent information such as instructions, materials needed, and tools used to complete the project. 

Also, give some thought to how you will channel your students through the shop to see where the "bottlenecks" will be (parts of the construction phase where students have to wait long periods of time to use a tool).  This will depend on the availability of tools, work bench space, and traffic patterns.  A recommendation would be to set up stations so you can spread the students out and utilize your tools and space more effectively.
