Building an Inukshuk
Examples of Possible Structures
Preparation
Discussion
among students to allow them to share their findings and to discuss a plan
for the type of Inukshuk they will choose to construct. This discussion should
also involve what they need to be thinking of as they choose their building
materials.
Materials
Rocks (chosen
according to plan of type and size)
Wood Blocks
(size depends on rock size chosen)
Glue (for
small models)
Silicone
(for large models)
Procedure
The
students build a model of an Inukshuk using rocks that can be built up, on
a wooden stand, without toppling.
Note:
Once the structure has been shown to stand, on it’s own, it can be glued together
in order to be moveable.
