How Was That Built? Resource Pack

(0)
These resources contain lots of fun and interactive activities to get children thinking about forces that act on our structures, what materials keep our structures strong and how to make them tall, long and stable. Meet the extraordinary people who challenged our beliefs about what’s possible, pioneering remarkable inventions that helped build the Brooklyn Bridge in the US, the Pantheon in Italy, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, The Shard in England and the Sapporo Dome in Japan. Discover the ingenious methods engineers have come up with to enable us to build underground, underwater, on ice and even in space. And learn about the impact diff erent forces and materials can have on a structure by carrying out your own engineering experiments in class, using the ‘Try it at Home’ sections.
