Stable Structures - Museum Mission

Wooden sticks are stacked, two on each layer and alternating direction in each layer to form a square based tower with a hollow centre. A brick sits atop the tower.

Your mission — should you choose to accept it — is to explore the museum and gain as much knowledge as possible!

The museum is full of artifacts. Are these structures stable? What makes them stable? How have structures evolved over time to make them more stable?

This scavenger hunt booklet, all about stable structures, help guide you and your students to fun and learning as you discover all that our galleries have to offer. Remember, youth 12 years and under must always be accompanied by an adult.

Printing your Museum Mission

To print in booklet form, choose “Booklet” and “Both sides” under “Page Sizing & Handling” if your printer supports it. If you are printing in black and white, select “Print in grayscale” for best results.
