There's a classic 1974 Buckminster Fuller geodesic dome nestled deep in Topanga Canyon, a hippie enclave outside of Los Angeles. It has "all of the expected funky design wrinkles” says owner Colleen Gerson, who lives there with her husband Mathew. And that's exactly how they like it.

Round geometric shapes came into our lives from nature. Today, dome construction forms an integral part of biophilic design, which has 6 principles:1. Environmental features.2. Natural shapes and forms.3. Restorative patterns and processes.4. Light and space.5. Place-based relationships.6. Evolved human-nature relationships. . Buckminster Fuller (1895–1983) was an American architect and philosopher who developed numerous inventions, mainly architectural designs and popularized the widely known Geodesic Dome. Insulated Domes...

A geodesic dome has many uses because of its structural strength. We share some inspiring uses for this space ship lookalike.
Materials: Straws ( got mine at a grocery store) Mini brads Paper punch (about 1/16" diameter) Ruler Scissors Topic: How to calculate a triangle if you know the angle and one of the length? If your students are high school, you can use trigonometry. Triangle is the strongest and more economical shape. Talk about angles in a triangle Constraints. My straw length is about 7". The longest straw should be no longer than the material. Activity: If you have a middle schooler, you can relate this with trigonometry. For this activity, I have a "cheat sheet" from youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1ZLoQc0ay0 If the outside of pentagon = N, the R for the pentagon is Nx0.8696 or Nx1.0224 for hexagon. If the longest straw is 5.5" = N, the r for pentagon is a 5.5"x0.8686 = 4.78" Cut straws to 2 sizes: Green: 5.5" ( about 35 pieces) Blue: 4.75" ( about 30 pieces ) Hole punch both ends and connects it with brads. Starts by making a big circle using 10 green straws Connect them with blue straws. Add vertical blue straws on the middle of the blue pentagon. Connect the top of the blue straws with green straws to make this shape Then connect horizontal lines using green straws. Then add the vertical blue straws as pictured. Connect the last brad. You made a model from straw. Want to be more creative? Instead of straw, try using rolled newspaper... See how big it can get.
