About Construction
A building goes up in a set order, and the words on this sheet follow it. Blueprints come first, drawn from a process that once printed white lines on blue paper. Then excavators and bulldozers move earth, cranes lift steel girders into place, and welders join them. Cement is only one ingredient: mixed with water, sand and gravel, it becomes concrete. Near the end come drywall, plywood and the trowel work that hides everything structural behind smooth surfaces.
Reach for this page when a class is studying how buildings, bridges and roads get made, or when a young builder wants the names of the machines and tools behind the fence.
