Today we returned to a time lapse video of a house constructed start to finish (see below). This time we focused on how every structure has a frame. The frame holds a structure together the same way bones hold together our muscles and skin. The frame supports the others parts of the structure. What materials make strong frames? We'll continue our discussion tomorrow and also talk about the ways we can make the shapes in structures stronger.
We also practiced building our own frames! We designed 2-D and 3-D shapes using toothpicks and modelling clay. What the shapes did we build? Can you describe the number of sides and vertices?
