Famous Structures
Objective
After categorizing existing structures and evaluating which structure best represents its category, students will design their own structure that fits one of their categories.
Steps
- Students will make a list of famous structures from around the world, representing all continents.
- They'll group those structures into 3 to 5 categories based on any characteristic they'd like (except location!).
- After naming their groups from last time, students will pick one winning structure from each group that best represents that group.
- Finally, students will pick a single winning structure and design a new structure that they think will outdo the current winner.
