Modern homes in Iqaluit

Today the Grade ones and twos looked at modern homes in Iqaluit. They noticed a few things about the houses. That they were colorful, that they had flat roofs, an lastly that they were built on "sticks" when we did some research, we found out that the "sticks" are actually called stilts and they are very important. Because Iqaluit is built on permafrost, it is important that there is no heat between the house and the ground. After we gathered our information, we decided that it was time to build our own Iqaluit houses out of lego. Take a look at the criteria as well as them in the process of building their Iqaluit homes.
