Building outside the box
Elementary (grades K-5),Secondary (grades 6-12)
Explore architecture with the idea that buildings don't have to be box-shaped. Students will create their own architectural designs by literally thinking outside the box.
Lesson Plan
A Butterfly’s Perspective
Early childhood (ages 3-5)
Children will examine images of traditional buildings and compare them to what they see in the Frederic C. Hamilton Building. They will then imagine they are butterflies flitting about the Frederic C. Hamilton Building and describe differences they notice.
Lesson Plan
Do You See What I See?
Elementary (grades K-5)
Students will work with a partner in a fun activity that helps them see the importance of finding precise words to describe the Frederic C. Hamilton Building. They will then learn how research can expand their understanding of the Frederic C. Hamilton Building beyond what they examined and learned about it from visual images alone.
