How a House Is Built

This book is an introduction to how, what, who is involved when it comes to building houses. This book introduces students to the different professions that are involved with building a house. The book shows the variety of materials that are needed to build a house. I would only use this book with very young students. This book could potentially be a way that you could help students connect the engineering design process in class to the real world. Ultimately, I do not think I would use this book in my classroom, due to the disengaging material. ( )
