Sustainable Houses

 We ended the unit with a challenge - they will build a structure model (in this case a HOUSE).


They were put into groups of 4 to 5 members. The challenge is build a house model that can withstand the following:

- water which is  a representation of RAIN

- wind which is a representation of TYPHOON

- shaking which is a representation of EARTHQUAKE

After building, we put the structures into test. All the models stood strong!!!
