4)  Keeping a clean work area is very important in the shop.  There are many different substances that if spilled on the floor can make it slippery and dangerous.  So making sure the students clean up any mess they make right away is a good idea.  A picture like this would be helpful in the shop area.

Helping the students to develop literacy in the Industrial Arts is very important.  For example making sure students are able to distinguish the different types of woods, different weld faults, etc is a big part of the curriculum.  The next few photos are things that could be hung around the shop.

5) Students who are taking wood working will need to be able to identify different types of wood just by looking at its physical appearance.  Having a chart like this or similar to it would be helpful for the students.  It would also help them when planning for projects so they would get an idea of what color it would end up being.

6) Having a chart with different types of joinery is also something that would help the students.  Joinery is emphasized in the curriculum for carpentry.  A chart like this would be a nice visual aid for the students.
