Structures around the World
Students explored materials and structures through various hands-on learning experiences. They investigated concepts about strengthening materials, joints, balance, and stability. Students also studied maps, read books, and watched videos to learn about the world. Each student shared a connection that he/she has to another country. As a culminating activity, student made cross-curricular connections through researching a famous structure and then using the design process to build a replica of that structure.
This project integrates Gr. 3 Social Studies concepts about exploring communities around the world and Science outcomes related to materials and structures. Students also used research and inquiry skills in an authentic way for a real audience.
We hope you enjoy our structures from around the world!
