Stilt Houses

This week we have been investigating stilt houses. We learned that you can find stilt houses throughout the world in countries such as Thailand, Chile, Norway and USA.

We created stilt houses using sticks and cardboard.

We encountered a number of problems whilst making our stilt houses and had to work together to try and find different solutions.

After we had built our stilt houses we set them 1 meter away from a fan and tested whether they would stand up.

Some houses stayed up, but some fell down.

We discussed the different ways we could improve our models and discussed the different techniques people had used.
