Treehouse Design
by Kristina Jallo
Students will research, design and build a treehouse using the engineering design process. They will practice budgeting by pretending to have $100 to spend by using a supply budget sheet. Students will also apply understanding of measurement by determining the area and perimeter of their treehouse.
