In this unit, children learn about structures. They learn that structures can fail when loaded, and the use of techniques for reinforcing and strengthening structures. They are shown the strength of tubes as a construction material and textiles as a suitable cover for a framework. The main outcome of this unit will be the design and construction of a framework-type shelter for an identified purpose. This can be a model or full-size structure.
This unit can be adapted by using alternative contexts for the design and make assignment eg bridges, chairs, adventure playground equipment.
