Description: This interactive activity helps students practice the skills needed to wash a load of clothing in a washing machine. Many special education students struggle knowing how to correctly use common household appliances, and are therefore reliant on others to help them with this process. If you are looking for an interactive lesson that has students simulate what it is like to do it on their own, this activity brings learning to life. Students read the prompts on the screen and then press the buttons on the washing machine to customize their wash. Students get immediate feedback for each entry. A total of SIX scenarios are included in this lesson. Each scenario has students practice (1) turning the washing machine on (2) selecting the correct type of load to wash (3) selecting the correct water temperature (4) selecting the correct cycle speed (5) selecting the correct soil level and (6) starting up the washing machine after entering all their selections
