Geodesic Domes

Students created scale domes, then took the building fun outside, creating a 16 wide dome to serve as a greenhouse.

Students learned about geodesic domes, Buckminster Fuller and how we are all astronauts on this "spaceship earth". By building small scale domes out of straws and pipecleaners, they were ready to tackle a larger design problem - building a 8 ft tall by 16 ft wide dome to serve as a greenhouse in the garden.
