Our Construction Inquiry!

At the end of October, we began an inquiry on construction and building. We noticed the class was really into building with the wood blocks, which led to this.  The students have loved exploring all the building materials in our classroom.  We have seen so many elaborate structures being made! Here are a few:

The students have also been looking at many pictures of well-known structures, like the CN Tower and the Empire State Building.  Here, some students re-created the Empire State Building:

Recently, we have began to learn more about the different building materials used in construction, like brick, wood and metal.  Next, we will explore which materials are the strongest and best for building structures.
