Teacher Notes (not visible to students)
I've created a Google Slides presentation with some examples of emergency shelters for different environments here: https://goo.gl/V253L7. As a large group, we talked about these different types of shelters and what type of environment they were meant for. Then students broke into small groups and chose one emergency shelter to create a model of. Later they shared their model with the class and described how it was constructed, what materials they used, and why it would be possible to build it in the particular environment. Materials required: Paper, tape or glue, modeling clay, popsicle sticks or toothpicks
