About Construction

Every building starts underground. Crews dig and pour a foundation before a single wall rises, then frame, wire, and finish from the bottom up. The vocabulary on this crossword follows that order: the architect's drawings, the concrete and mortar, the steel girders riveted or welded into a frame, the crane and scaffold that lift workers and materials into place. Hard hats became standard safety gear on American job sites in the 1930s, and a simple level still checks what expensive machines cannot.

A shop teacher, a STEM club leader, or anyone building a lesson around trades and how structures go together reaches for this sheet.
