Fun with Arch-itecture!

Today we learned more about arcitecture.The romans came up with the idea of using arches which used less materials and was easier to build by hand and it was more sturdy.To get a feel for it we acted like we were arches and put are heals aginst the wall then bent over.We also used tooth picks with marshmallows on them to make creations [that are three dimensional] that Da Vinci created called Octahedroms,Icosahedrons,and Rhombicuboctahedrons.

Check out some of the pics we have from are investigation.
