Inspire your students to study the incredible structures of the world!

From the Eiffel Tower in France to the Beijing National Stadium in China, students dive into the architectural design, engineering and historical significance of these magnificent structures.

This resource guides students through conducting their own research report on an architectural structure of the world (over 75 suggested topics are listed). After choosing a topic to focus on, students are asked to conduct research using the Internet and books while following criteria. Next, students are asked to share their learning by creating a poster board, presentation board, power point presentation or dodecahedron (Instructions and Pentagon Template included). A 3D model may also be constructed to further display learning. Finally, students present their work to the class.

To help students choose a research topic (and to introduce the project to the class) we have included a PowerPoint that features the Top 10 Research Topics.

Can be done in partners. Printable Evaluation forms included!

Project-Based Learning (PBL) is a student-centered pedagogy in which students are challenged to actively learn about a subject for an extended period of time. It is a form of active learning or inquiry-based learning. Project-Based Learning is in contrast to paper-based, rote memorization, or teacher-led instruction that presents established facts. Please be aware of what you are purchasing.

Thanks so much,
