Three Way Venn Diagram - Bridges, Tunnels, and Towers

As part of Inquiry we were to finish off uncompleted work. Ofa and I decided to finish of one of our Venn diagrams based on the similarities and differences of towers, tunnels, and bridges. I've learnt that only bridges have suspensions and tunnels are the only ones that can go through ground. Did you know that only bridges and towers sway side to side. To make our DLO look more appealing we've decided to draw the structures. 

Venn Diagram - Waterview Tunnel & Gotthard Tunnels

As part of Ms Kirkpatrick's Inquiry group we were to finish uncompleted work from our previous Inquiry sessions. So Today Jeremiah and I have found one of our  lying in our google drive so we decided to post it on our blog. For this task we were to compare and contrast the Water view & Gotthard Tunnel. I've learnt that both tunnel are the longest ones in their country. Its sad to hear that 9 men's lost their live due to work related accidents. Next time probably I could compare and contrast a tunnel, bridge, and a tower. If I was to do this I would probably pick the Sky Tower, Gotthard Tunnel, and the Sydney Harbour Bridge. 

Note Making - Buildings and Structures

At the beginning of our learning of buildings and structures we wrote down what we knew about what they are and what their purpose is. The questions we were asked were what is a structure, who is involved what materials is it made out of, and famous examples. Their were a lot of famous examples as we hear about them fairly regularly. At the start we did not have a good understanding of what they are and we are now using that as foundation so that we can add more information.
