If I Had A Hammer
September 2009 – June 2010
Teaching for Understanding Field Trip
Here’s a way to put core subjects like math and language arts to work in a downright entertaining way. “If I Had a Hammer” is a problem solver’s delight, as teams of students work together to construct an 8- by 11-foot house inside Henry Ford Museum. Cooperation is a must as students discover just how essential those subjects can be when they’re applied to a real-world challenge.
