Part 1: 3D Sculpture

Lesson 1: Intro and Step Pop-up Lesson 2 ** NEED LAB OR LAPTOPS ** > Lesson 3** NEED LAB OR LAPTOPS ** Lesson 4
 * Concept attainment with questions. See lesson plan page
 * Zoom-in inquiry
 * Talk about Sol and Calder- pull resources
 * Concluding generation cube and triangle pop-up (scale)- find something similar to activity with Sol; artistic and mathematical questions and the multi-slit; choose from a white sheet of paper and a template; put model and let them explore; piece of paper to decide who goes for which (they have to decide whether or not to go for the template or blank); engineering task criteria
 * Add questions on scale and ratios
 * HW: Blog post entry and a couple of question on scale; Reading on the difference between a scientist and an engineer- Could we connect it back to artists?
 * Research: Kid watching
 * Review yesterday
 * Connect to art, Sol, and cubits activity; give mat plan and create in cubits but also give them pictures of art and have them create;
 * Snap cubes and group activity worksheet from cube-n-ometery
 * Follow up with the individual Cube-n-ometry worksheet
 * HW: Give two examples from http://gemssty.com/2007/04/10/spatial-visualization-game/ and then ask which could be re-created as physical sculpture- reflect on blog. Cubits- one additive and subtractive.
 * Continuation
 * Give images of Sol and have the students figure out surface area of sculptures using snap cubes; explain how in words and with drawing paper
 * Pack it in...

Part 2: 2D Mobile
