Amazing Architects ๐Ÿ› ๐Ÿชš๐Ÿช›

27th Jan 2022

As part of their topic โ€˜Houses and Homesโ€™, primary 4 have been experimenting with the best way to build a wall. ๐Ÿก

They are working in pairs to design and build 3 different models, each meeting the criteria of 12cm tall and 15cm wide. They are then carrying out three very technical testsโ€ฆ a blow test, a light table wobble and a heavy table wobble! 

They are using the information found to conclude which model would be the most suitable for use in building a house.

So far, many are finding that overlapping the bricks makes for the best structural security.
