Designing Shelters l Inquiry

This week for inquiry, we learnt how to make 3D emergency shelters.

We firstly drawed a emergency shelter on paper to know the shelter we will be making..

After, we needed to know what shape it uses so we could create it. The reason why we needed to know the shape was because to know if it could get wind inside, or not.

Then we started making the shelter on Sketchup, while we used sketchup it was fun since we got to create our own shelter.

Some materials that are good to create with shelters are: stone, and brick, they are good to use for materials since they can prevent the wind from coming inside since the material it uses is strong.

Materials like stone and brick can protect from wind since their material is really strong and heavy, metal and steel can also protect from wind too since they are also strong from wind.

My group and I found this really interesting and fun, since we got to create our own shelter using Sketchup.
