More About Hands-On Architecture, Our Homeschool Architecture Curriculum

This homeschool architecture curriculum, taught by Amy Gillispie (Mrs. G.), provides step-by-step architecture lessons in many different mediums for the lower elementary through middle school homeschool student. The nine homeschool elective lessons within each Hands-On Architecture unit need to be followed in sequence. After finishing the first unit, the second and third may be taken in any order.

Hands-On-Architecture Unit 1 introduces homeschool students to exciting, easy-to-find materials they can use to make fun architectural structures. Unit 1 includes three downloads: Lessons 1-10 (9 weeks and a bonus project), Step-by-Step Lesson Photos, and Student Projects.

Hands-On-Architecture Unit 2 leads the student through the design of their own HOME in nine lessons. Unit 2 includes three downloads: Lessons 1-9, Teacher Examples, and Student Projects. Each student may use the materials from the first course or a medium of their choice. Minecraft, SketchUp, poster board, clay, and plastic building bricks are some materials that have been used in the past.

Hands-On-Architecture Unit 3 leads students through the design of a ZOO!  Unit 3 includes two downloads: Lessons 1-9 and Student Work. The student may use a medium of their choice to model their zoo.
