Questions: Building and Constructing

Question 1

What is one thing you can use to build and construct?

• A. Paint
• B. Blocks
• C. Glitter
• D. A marker

Answer: (B)

Blocks are great for building! You can stack them, line them up, and make all kinds of structures.

Question 2

What helps a tall block tower stay up?

• A. Making the top bigger than the bottom
• B. Putting bigger, heavier blocks on the bottom
• C. Stacking blocks as fast as possible
• D. Using only one block

Answer: (B)

A wide, heavy base at the bottom helps a tower stay balanced. This is why builders start big and go smaller on top.

Question 3

If your block tower falls down, it means you should try a different way to build it.

• T. True
• F. False

Answer: True

Yes! When a tower falls, you learn something about balance. You can try again with a wider base or a different arrangement. Falling is part of learning!

Question 4

Building with blocks is just playing and not really art.

• T. True
• F. False

Answer: False

Building is creative work! You make choices about shape, color, size, and arrangement. Architects and sculptors build things as their art.

Question 5

Build something with blocks or boxes. What did you make and how tall or big is it?

Model answer: Example: 'I built a castle with blocks. It has four towers and a wall in the middle. It is as tall as my knee!'

A good answer describes what was built, mentions some details about its design, and gives an idea of its size.
