Building an

Ark.

The story of Noah’s Ark

is in the Torah.

In the biblical storyan ark is a boat

for animals and people.

The Torah says that God said to Noah:

“Make yourself an ark of wood…

Make rooms in it and paint it…”

It even said what size to make it.

300 Cubits Long

30 Cubits High

50 Cubits Wide

These instructions are

called a plan.

Did you know that God’s plan for the ark was for it to be a box?

All boats and houses start with a plan.

What do you need to think about when you

design a house or a boat?

How to get in and out.

Where to sleep.

Where to eat.

Where to play or hang out.

How to safely get around.

Even where go to the bathroom!

Who designs houses and boats?

Architects!

Architects design houses and boats with plans for all of these

things.

They also make them beautiful!
