3D Nets, and Building
We have continued exploring 3D shapes and their properties:
We have been looking at different 3D shapes nets as a way to help visualize their edges, vertices and faces:
After observing many different types of 3D shapes and becoming more familiar with their properties we had a chance to build paper 3D models, using a variety of nets!
We also compared prisms and pyramids and looked at examples, definitions and ways to tell them apart:
Prisms
This is a great website for manipulating some 3D shapes in order to see them built from net to shape and pause on important properties:
Small, Crawling, and Flying Creatures Research
This week we have been discussing and sharing things that we know about insects and bugs and things that we want to know. We decided upon a small, crawling, or flying creature to research.
Today we learned about Life Cycle and some important scientific vocabulary words that explain the parts of a life cycle :
We talked about some life cycles including different stages that some include such as Butterflies, frogs, dragonflies and more...
In the afternoons we have been then using computers to research websites and use some videos and diagrams to help us add to our research.
Today we looked at observing, drawing and labeling like a scientist
We will be creating a Google Slides presentation and a flip book with all that we learn. Ask me about my insect/bug/amphibian that I am researching and becoming an expert on!!
