How to Make Fun Fossil Imprints:

Step 1: Measure and mix together the flour, salt, and water to make a salt dough. Knead the dough for five minutes, and form it into small balls. Flatten the balls to prepare them for a fossil print.

Space Shapes

How We Learned Our Space Shapes

Space Shapes

There are shapes

That take up space.

You can see them in any place.

A cone, cylinder,

cube, and sphere-

Space shapes are 3-D so let's give a cheer!

 Building with Space Shapes

after reading, "Jack the Builder" by Stuart Murphy, we learned that space shapes can stack.

 

My Space Shape Book

We learned about the attributes of space shapes by completing a space shape book.

 

Space Shape Movement

We learned which space shapes could stack, slide, and/or roll and sorted them. After we recorded our results on a Space Shape Movement sheet.

 

Where is the Witch's Brook

Hide the broom behind a witch.  To see if the broom is hiding there, the student has to say the color and the space shape name.

 

Space Shapes Guessing Bags

Students will guess which space shape is in the bag by feeling it, record responses on sheet, and draw a real-life object that is the same shape.
