Carl the construction worker has a problem. Carl
needs to build a house for a family moving into
the neighborhood. Carls boss gave him lots of
tools and lots of materials, but he doesnt know
how to use them. Do you think you can help Carl
build the house?
3
Carl looks to his pile of materials. He notices
that there are a lot of boards made out of wood,
but they are all different sizes. Carl thinks it
would be best if he could make all the boards the
same size. What should Carl use to measure the
boards to make sure they are all the same size?
4
Carl takes the measured boards and lays them flat
on a table. Now that Carl has measured the
boards, he needs to cut them all to the right
sizes. What tool should Carl use to cut the
boards?
5
Once all the boards are cut, Carl needs to make
the frame of the house. He knows the frame needs
to be very strong so it can keep the house
standing for a long time. What tools does Carl
need to use to hold the boards together and make
a strong frame?
6
Carl finishes framing the house with the wooden
boards and decides to that it is time to make the
wall that will go in the front yard. He walks
over to a large pile of bricks sitting in the
corner. Carl notices that the bricks are not
flat on the top and he thinks that the wall
should have a flat top. What tool can help Carl
make sure the bricks flat on the top?
7
Carl finally gets the bricks to lay flat and now
he needs to hold them together. He finds a wheel
barrel full of dry cement that his boss left for
him. Carl knows that he needs to mix water with
the cement in order to use it. What can Carl use
to get the water into the wheel barrel?
8
Carl finishes with the brick wall and leaves the
cement to dry. He decides that the next thing to
do is put wall paper up inside the house. The
wall paper comes in a big roll which Carl needs
to cut into strips. What can Carl use to cut the
wall paper so he can put it up on the wall?
9
After finishing the wall paper, Carl goes outside
and looks at the beautiful house. Carl knows his
boss will be very happy with his work, but he
also knows he never could have done it without
your help! Thank you! Carl says. You are all
great civil engineers!
