Building famous structure types helps kids see why engineers choose particular shapes, supports and materials. After each build, talk about which parts carry the load and what would happen if one was removed or moved. Once the guided models are done, kids can try designing a building of their own and testing whether it stands up, which is a great way to apply what they learned.
