If I Had a Hammer

Students in Mr. Scott’s Construction class had a lesson on using hammers correctly. The students competed against each other to drive 5 nails into a 4 x 4 in the shortest time possible. Students had to drive them accurately and without bending over the nails to win. Safety was stressed as well as nails hit incorrectly can glance off and hit you. The students are also making a set of sawhorses and plan on building a garage onto a house this fall. If time permits, they may even be working on making some sheds as well.
