How do you make a model Inuit Igloo?

Question

It is my project.

Answer 1

Research the structure and materials used to build an igloo.

Create a design for your model. Determine what materials will best represent the igloo but will be easy to use.

Construct your model.

Good luck!

Answer 2

Use sugar cubes and water to soften and shape structure. Or: Take a foamcore board, drawing a circle; evenly space paperclips that you have straightened, into the circle you have drawn one at a time, as you add the next step. You can use the "peanuts" used for packing, cutting them (carefully) into small squares. Push these foamy squares onto the straightened wire, then push the wire onto the drawn circle on the foamcore. As you built upon this, twist the end of each wire to form a dome shape at the top center of your structure. Press the foamy "peanut" onto the top of the dome shape. Use glue sparingly to the edges of each foamy square to hold them in place.... this is a start, you can expand on this idea.
You could try using ice cubes. You can also Google "making an igloo" and see what comes up. Good luck.
