Introduction

Your (imaginary) customer needs a new bathroom and has asked you to help with the layout possibilities.

They have given you a floor plan of the room in question, and it's quite a tight space...
You will need to be creative.

During the bathroom project, students will be working with an imaginary client/ client's wishes when designing a bathroom. 
Show them the small bathroom space that they have to work with, and hand out the worksheet ' bathroom essentials'.
Have students create their own layout, while using the checklist.

It's okay if the floor plans are not yet completed, but it is nice to show the group's progress.
Alternatively, the teacher could set up a Padlet account and have students upload their work there.
