This 16-day Concrete and Masonry Unit from the Agricultural Mechanics Course (coming soon) focuses on the concrete and masonry career pathways. Students will identify components of concrete and mortar, as well as tools used in both careers. Students will calculate concrete volume and cost, compressive stress, concrete ratios and block estimations. In this unit, students will conduct slump tests and compression tests, and will apply their knowledge to a concrete stepping stone project and a 4-course corner lead project with blocks.
