Design a Tour Bus: Middle School Lesson

The Florida Advanced Technological Education Center offers this “learning challenge” to middle schoolers, challenging them to design a tour bus. There are teacher materials offered, such as a lesson plan and a PowerPoint presentation; as well as student materials that include a student’s guide, graph paper, and pictorial descriptions of possible furnishings. This website also provides a 3 minute featurette that introduces students to the world of tour buses, as well as a virtual tour of a manufacturer. This is an excellent activity for manufacturing classrooms.
