Opening Video - Module 11

Warm-Up: Architecture Scavenger Hunt

Throughout history, around the world, humans have been building shelters. Over time, the shelters were built using new materials and the designs kept changing. 

Today, homes and buildings are made from many different types of materials and designs. Explore your home or take a walk (with a grown-up!) to explore your neighborhood and take a look at the architecture and construction around you.

If you can, take some pictures of what you see so you can look at the structures later.
