In this Core Maths activity student pairs are asked to identify the force on the foundations of twelve iconic buildings. Both the volume and surface area of the buildings need to be calculated, with appropriate estimations made. Students are then asked to place the buildings in order of foundation strength.
Access to the internet is essential and the use of a spreadsheet is also useful.
The teachers' notes give an outline of the task and extension ideas. The resource also includes answers and details of all of the formulae required for the activity.
