Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What material is used to frame most houses in North America?

Answer: Wood

In most houses, wooden beams are secured together to provide the support and the shape of the structure. The beams usually come from the lumber yard. They are then cut to size and secured together.
2. What is used to hold the beams of the house frame together?

Answer: Nails or screws

When the house frame is set in place, it is held in place by nails or screws. This secures the frame in place and keeps it from moving or falling down. When the frame is together, other components like walls and floors can be added.
3. What usually goes on the roof of a home?

Answer: Shingles or metal sheeting

Shingles or metal sheeting are known as "roofing". They are placed on the roof in an overlapping pattern. This protects the wood underneath by forcing the rain or melting snow down towards the edge where it drips off. The roofing also keeps the roof from leaking into the house when the weather turns bad.
4. What is installed in the walls to carry electricity from room to room?

Answer: Wiring

Wiring is installed and routed within the walls of a house to take electricity to each room. It is placed between the inner and outer walls to protect it, and to hide it. When it is hidden behind the inner walls, decorators can finish off the inside of a house without worrying that wires will get in the way.
5. What tradesman should you call to help install the toilet, sinks, and drains?

Answer: Plumber

A plumber is trained to install and connect all sorts of pipes and drains. They will make sure that only clean and fresh water comes into the home, and used and dirty water goes out of the house to the sewers.
6. In the 21st century, what are many new interior walls made of?

Answer: Drywall

Drywall (also called plasterboard) is basically the term that describes pre-made wall panels. A material called gypsum is compressed between two thick pieces of paper. After the drywall is fixed in place to hide the wires and any insulation that was used inside the outer wall, it can be painted to look like one smooth wall, and not a series of panels.
7. What are most windows in houses made of?

Answer: Glass

Glass has been the choice for window for hundreds of years. It allows the light in and keeps the weather out.
8. What do many people choose to put on the floors of their bathroom when it is built?

Answer: Tiles

Tiles are often a choice for the bathroom floor when building a house. This is because they don't absorb water and can be mopped up quickly in a room like the bathroom where it is often wet. Other choices for a bathroom floor might be linoleum, or even wood that is treated to withstand the extra moisture in many bathrooms.
9. How are new houses secured against unwanted people or animals?

Answer: Doors with locks

Any exterior doors on a new house should have proper locks. Using the locks makes sure that unwanted people or animals can't wander in either when the owner is home, or when they have left for the day.
10. After a new home is built, what is the first thing that many new homeowners put out?

Answer: A welcome mat

Putting a welcome mat on the outside of the front door allows visitors to feel that they are wanted in the new home. It also allows them to wipe their feet before they enter so they don't track dirt into the new home.
