Grade:adaptable to grades 3 -6
Common Core Standards incorporated:
Solve problems involving measurement and estimation of intervals of time, liquid volumes, and masses of objects.
Represent and interpret data.
Draw a scaled picture graph and a scaled bar graph to represent a data set with several categories.
Generate measurement data by measuring lengths using rulers marked with halves and fourths of an inch. Show the data by making a line plot, where the horizontal scale is marked off in appropriate units— whole numbers, halves, or quarters.
Geometric measurement: understand concepts of area and relate area to multiplication and to addition.
Geometric measurement: recognize perimeter as an attribute of plane figures and distinguish between linear and area measures.
Brief Description: A new twist to the old favorite. Students make loop planes to work with math and science concepts. Measurements, Graphing, Hypothesis, Variables, Thrust, Drag, Lift. after building a standard plane groups are given time to make creative adjustments to increase flight distance.
Common Core Standards for Math*
• Identify and describe shapes (squares, circles,triangles, rectangles, hexagons, cubes, cones, cylinders, and spheres).
• Analyze, compare, create, and compose shapes.
Brief Description: Exploring shapes and movement with tangrams. Includes geometric concepts. Providing guidance to incorporate common core elements, this activity also provides students with a chance to explore and discover on their own.
