GLO: 1. Describe and interpret different types of structures encountered in everyday

objects, buildings, plants and animals; and identify materials from which they are made

SLO(s):
Learning 1.2 interpret examples of variation in the design of structures that share a common
Outcomes: function, and evaluate the effectiveness of the designs.

1.5 identify points of failure and modes of failure in natural and built structures.

@2:25pm Common Function, Different Design Activity

…..For today’s activity you are going to be examining

structures, on a google slide, that have the same function but
20mins vary by design (like the roofs we saw). You will then answer
(45mins remain) the corresponding questions for each slide….it looks like
