Weekly Planning-Maker Space-Pyp 3

The document outlines a weekly planning schedule for a Maker Space class focusing on 3D construction and building design. Over the course of several meetings, students will explore the structures of buildings through identifying keywords, asking inquiry questions, observing building designs from different places, and comparing/contrasting three buildings. They will then brainstorm materials and design criteria to create their own 3D constructions, which they will later evaluate based on success, failure, strengths and weaknesses. Resources related to the unit include books on houses, construction, tools, and examples of 3D constructions using various materials.

WALT

To understand
the structure
of a building

WILF

Activities

Identify and find


the keywords
from the central
idea

Understand and
clarify teacher
questions then
come up with
two focus
questions as
their inquiry
questions
Observe
different places
around the
world which
have different
buildings/house
s construction

Identify words in central idea


and come up with 3 other
words that connect to the
keywords in central idea The
designs of buildings and
structures is dependent upon
environmental factors and
human creativity (Example:
design=project, plan,scheme)
Read a story This Is My House

Key Vocabulary
Chart
o Manila (big
and card
size)

In a group ask
students to come
up with their
finding to answer
teacher questions:
o What do
you know
about
buildings?
o What things
do you need
to build a
building?
o What makes
building

To
demonstrate
the ability to
design a 3Dconstruction
with various
materials

Formulate
inquiry
questions

Observe
different
construction
from different
resources
Compare and
contrast three
different
buildings in
three different
places

Brainstorm
ideas of possible
materials which
can be used in
order to start
their 3Dconstruction

Ask the students to think


about the central idea, the
story and the questions then
ask them to come up with two
questions as their focus of
finding

students will work by using


different resources before later
they create a chart to explain the
similarities and differences of
three buildings in three different
places (materials, geographical
aspects, sturdiness)

Mind map of possible materials


and mention the strengths and
weaknesses of material chosen
(options can be individual or
group)
Criteria:

Where place to build that building


What The problem which might occur
in the process to build that building
Why The reasons to use certain

different
from one
place to
another
place?
Ask each group to
present their
finding either in
poster, chart or
notes
Manila card,
written and
displayed on the
