The theme of human-environment interaction investigates the relationship between people and their environment. How do people use their environment and how does the environment influence how people live? To answer this, students are to demonstrate how environment affects the type of structures people build as homes.
Objective: Build a structure to withstand the outside environment.

2. Construct your design using material.
3. Take a picture of the finished product before it goes outside and after the three days.
4. Place the structure outside in a secure area. Monitor every day for three days.
