As part of our Building topic in Science the students will be using the information we learned about the Leaps of building skyscrapers to design and build their own. During the week of November 4-8 each student will plan, design and create a skyscraper. Students are invited to bring any materials form home that they would like to use for their building project (eg paper towel roles, boxes, tinfoil). There are 6 categories that the students will need to think about when designing and building their structure.
1. Materials - strong but light
2. Resistant to wind
3. Blocks heat
4. Resistant to earthquakes
5. Speed - how quickly it can be built
6. Mobility - how can the high floors be accessed
