Learning Outside the Classroom School visit to University of Winchester Tina Bagley, Rebecca Grover, Kim Marshall and Jennifer Sherwood

Scenario KS2Day visit The University of Winchester needs a new building. Your task is to explore the campus to investigate the current buildings and their structure/materials. To work out which materials buildings use and their properties. Working as a group and using this knowledge you need to design a new building for the campus. You need to consider structure and materials which would be best used to support your ideas for the new building.
