Design Challenge – The SNOOP Family Home
The Brief:
Your task is to PLAN and then use any type of Lego or any other building material to CREATE a home for the SNOOP family. They have made a list of requirements. Think of how you might design and create a strong, safe and beautiful home for them.
The home:
- should be 2 floors high (don’t forget the staircase!)
- each floor should have 2 rooms
- will need a chimney as they want a fireplace
- must have lots of windows to let the cool breeze in
- should have a beautiful garden with two big trees
- should include an outdoor kennel for the their pet dog ‘Woof’
- must have a two-door garage to park their two cars
- an outdoor pool
1) Make a PLAN on paper.
2) Use building materials to CREATE the structure. Make sure you think of ALL the requirements to make a safe, strong and beautiful home.
What do we need to know about building structures?
We watched ‘Look at That Building!: A First Book of Structures‘ by Scot Ritchie.
This wonderful picture book introduces young learners to basic construction concepts through the eyes of five friends keen on building a doghouse for their pet pooch, Max. Many important concepts, and vocabulary are explored through this simple picture book.
