ACT
Many students dream of designing their ideal bedroom. For this exercise, students will be required to limit their designs by size (as a specific volume) and price (a specific amount). They must design the floor plan, including furniture placement, using drawing, CAD, or home design software. They are required to select the following: floor covering, paint for walls and ceiling, and an air-conditioning and heating unit appropriate for the room's volume. Students use the Web to research these items and enter the values they find into a spreadsheet, maintaining a running total of expenditures. They present their bedrooms to the class using multimedia-authoring software.
