Design and create a bug house

I use this with a Year 5 class but can be adated for younger if needed.

This resource is half a terms worth of lessons. included in each lesson is

Session 1 - Background on bug shelters.
Session 2 - To practise making joints.
Session 3 - Create a prototype.
Session 4 - Start making a bug shelter- frame of the shelter.
Session 5 - Carry on making a bug shelter
Session 6 - Put on final touches to the bug shelter
Session 7 - Evaluate your shelter.

There are videos and links to support the learning. The end goal is to create a bug shelter using wood and strengthening it with triangles. Then pack it out with natural materials from the environment and recyclable materials.
