Week 6

Posted by: edugator | October 12, 2008 | 5 Comments |



Welcome back travellers. I hope you are all well rested and ready to continue your trip around the world.

This week we are visiting something that Gustave built over 100 years ago that today is still one of the most well known and well visited tourist attractions in the world.

The Eiffel Tower was the tallest structure in the world when it was constructed in 1889.

How does it compare today to other tall buildings?

Your task this week is to construct a column graph comparing the Eiffel Tower to other tall buildings known to your students, including a local building to give perspective to the tower’s height in your graph.

You may use the rectangle drawing tool to create the columns or photos of the buildings you choose which you can stretch to maintain the correct scale.

It is Paris, France.

It is made of black metal.

It is very tall and nice and pointy.

Go can go up to the top.

You are certainly becoming experienced travellers 1-2H. Do you know anyone who has been to the top of the Eiffel Tower?

One girl’s Dad has been there.

And Mr Went climbed up and said the cars looked like toys and the people looked like ants.

Centrepoint tower is a long way up, so that is really tall. How tall is the tallest building near your school?
