Structures: Students investigate structures and their strength. They observe structures in the school neighborhood and record the variety of sizes, shapes, materials, and functions of these structures. They build structures with straws, index cards, and additional classroom materials. The unit was developed by Education Development Center, Inc., with funding from the National Science Foundation.

These projects were created by fifth grade students, inspired by important works of architecture from around the world.
