1st Science Club—September 8

We started by discussing what are our “needs” – and listed such things as transportation, home, clothing, food and water. From there we discussed various types of homes – looking at the homes of different Native Americans. We discussed the considerations of temporary vs. permanent, cold vs. hot weather, and availability of materials. Then the students were supplied with a number of materials that they could choose from to construct a model home. Afterwards we shared whether the home was meant to be permanent or temporary and what type of weather it would have been appropriate for.
