Listed below is an application of the following framework strands in our program.
**__PROBLEM #1__**
 * Given the formula, convert a color formulation mixture from ounces to milliliters using a ratio of equal parts. Show how you came up with your answers.**
 * Conversion Formula – 1 Ounce = 29.57353 Milliliters**


 * a) If you used:**

1 oz. **6n** color fusion .5 oz. **6GB** color fusion


 * How many ounces of developer would you need?**


 * b) Fill in the amount of milliliters needed per ounce used.**

1 oz. 6n color fusion = __?___ml.

.5 oz. 6GB color fusion = __?___ml.

__?___developer = __?___ml.


 * c) What is the total amount of milliliters in the completed formulation? Round you answer to the nearest hundredths.**

__?___ounces = __?___milliliters

__Real World Problem-Solving__ __Embedded Mathematics in Landscaping Technology__ =__**Area Measurement Exercise**__= __**Example 1**__

Purpose: To practice using area measurement calculations used extensively in the landscape and other associated industries. Area measurement also has practical applications towards home ownership issues such as determining carpeting or wall paper needs, amount of coverage for paint, size of a cooking grill, etc.

Procedure: Using a measuring wheel, students will work in teams/groups to determine the total area occupied by the structure/area defined by the instructor. Measurements are to be made using the exterior features and measured to the nearest ½ foot. Use the following formulas:

Area = length x width
** Total Area = Area 1 + Area 2 + Area 3 …etc. **

Using the Shop Math Format, show your finished calculation work below. Practice and work on the results on separate scratch paper first!

__Graphing Data__ __Example 2__

__Purpose__: to prepare a graphic presentation of data __Procedure__: Use the data provided to plot a line graph. Label the x and y axis, provide a title, and use appropriate scale measure. Be neat and precise. __ Greenhouse Relative Humidity __

__ Trade Magazine Article __
 * __Example 3__**

Purpose: To become familiar with the journal resources available for the industry and to be able to organize information and present what you learned to peers. Procedure: Select an approved article __of interest__ from one of the trade magazines available. You may use articles brought in from outside the classroom if you get pre-approval by the instructor. Read the article and organize the following information:
 * ** Introduction: ** What is the article about, why is it important?
 * ** Body/Content: ** What are the key points of information that you learned about this subject?
 * ** Conclusion: ** Summarize what the reader has learned or how this information is useful. What are the results?

Give a 3-5 minute presentation to the class describing the information above. Visual aids or props are strongly recommended.
__ Evaluation: __ Outline __25 pts__ Presentation __75 pts__

100 pts total

See Rubric Schedule your presentation in advance with the instructor and you must complete it prior to the close of grades for the term. Students may choose to repeat the presentation as many times as they wish to improve their score. The highest score achieved will determine your grade. Practice makes perfect, especially on presentation.
