STEM at COAM: How do we build our buildings?

This week (5th – 14th March 2021) is British Science Week and to celebrate the different areas of science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) we’ve been exploring what materials and methods we use to construct the buildings we have onsite. For our seventh installment of home learning resources, discover lots about the different materials we use to rebuild the buildings onsite as well as the methods used to put them back up. See if you can spot any of these materials or methods on buildings around your local area! Can you spot any really interesting buildings, old or new?

Children may be back in classrooms however we will continue to release fun resources and activities for all the family to get involved in and enjoy together every Tuesday until the end of the Easter Holidays. Brought to you by the Learning team behind our popular ‘Terrific Tuesday’ events, these resources will be a perfect way to learn new information about the natural world around us, develop new skills and stay connected to the Museum until we reopen in late March.

Be sure to check back next week for more home learning fun.
