A Grade 3 science slideshow built around the essential question of what makes a structure strong and stable. Looks at bridges, towers, animal homes and other structures in the natural and built world, ending with a design-and-test activity.
Make structures exciting and easy to understand with this engaging Kite & Bloom science resource! Students explore natural and built structures, strength and stability, materials and forces, shapes, struts, ties, and ways engineers improve designs through Think-Pair-Share prompts, prediction activities, visual examples, and a final design challenge.
Designed to lead your lessons or supplement your daily science routine, it’s perfect for whole-class instruction, centres, review, and introducing an Ontario Strong & Stable Structures unit.
