- Watch
Movie on Shapes of Nature
- List
the six shapes
-
Provide 3 examples for each shape
- Walk
outside, find, and describe
3 additional examples for each shape (not example from movie).
You may use the science department's digital camera to take a
photograph of one of the shapes.
- Type
Notes and E-mail to Mrs. Nuņo
at jdenuno@mhs-la.org as the text of a message. Remember to
put your name and Shapes Notes in the subject field
and your name and Shapes Notes at the beginning
of the messaage
- Prepare
a Power Point Presentation on 1 of the shapes with 4~6 slides
including title and reference slides
- You
need to find graphics illustrating 1 of the shapes. You need to
explain the shape how the graphic illustrates the shape
- E-mail
as an attachment to Mrs. Nuno
at jdenuno@mhs-la.org
- PowerPoints
will be presented in class
- Be
prepared to answer the following questions in class as a reflection/assessment
on the Shapes Project. We will be typing the responses as an email
message during class time
- Two
important components of scientific methods are making observations
and finding information. Your initial observations in the
Shapes of Nature project involved viewing a movie and learning
the concepts of the different shapes. You then went outside
into the natural world and found examples of each shape. You
made further shape observations at the Long Beach Aquarium.
Then you searched the Internet to find examples and explanations
for one specific shape. Describe how the the shape observations
you made and the search process on the Internet relate to
scientific methods.
- Another
component of scientific methods is cooperation and collaboration
with colleagues. In the Shapes of Nature project you cooperated
and collaborated with each other in finding, describing, and
explaining shapes and in finding, selecting, copying, and
inserting visual and verbal information in your presentations.
You also shared information and experience in putting together
the presentations. Based on your cooperation and collaboration
experiences in preparing your Shape of Nature presentation,
describe how and why cooperation and collaboration are important
in the scientific process.
- List
5 new facts that you learned about Shapes of Nature from someone
else's presentation.
