Curated OER
Sculpture Shapes
Students reconstruct an ancient Greek sculpture using various geometric forms and explore different geometric forms. They create an abstract human form out of geometric shapes and create other representations out of the same shapes.
Curated OER
Simply Unique
Students identify, compare and contrast simple machines and their functions. They work together in groups to complete experiments using the simple machines. They write in their journals to reflect on the lesson plan.
