Instructional Ideas

Pros

• Includes step-by-step procedures for the project and a list of materials
• Comes with plenty of additional images and other materials such as a glossary and a rubric

Cons

• The pictures are a bit small, and you'll likely want to create your own sample drawing and blow up the model pieces of art for easier viewing
