Did you know that there are structures all around us that are naturally made by animals? The grade 3's have been learning all about these kinds of structures.
A beaver dam and lodge are examples of natural structures. They have a certain shape and form that allow beavers to create a home that is strong and stable. The shape of the lodge is called a dome.
We made dioramas that show how a beaver uses a dam to create ponds and waterways and also allows them to build the lodge where they live.
Also, bees make honeycombs that are shaped like a hexagon. This shape allows the bees to make the most use of the space inside their hives.
We created our own honeycombs!
Natural structures made by beavers and bees are quite amazing, don't you think???
