Why do we wear clothes? by Rebecca Rimoldi https://padlet.com/rebeccarimoldi/p387os7dcgqrfllt 3rd Grade Science Time! en-us 2021-05-15 19:52:48 UTC 2026-01-07 21:19:46 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f31e.png Welcome message from Mrs. Rimoldi rebeccarimoldi https://padlet.com/rebeccarimoldi/p387os7dcgqrfllt/wish/1527438357 Hello Scholars!
In today's lesson, you will explore the different properties of materials used for clothing, such as texture, flexibility, and absorbency.  Step 2 of this lesson will ask you to design your own hat. You can see me in the photo below. In this photo, I was on a field trip with other Aspire science teachers. We were locating desert plants and animals near Palm Springs. It was so hot! The temperature outside that day was 107 degrees. My face looks sad but my heart was happy that I had this nice hat to shade my face from the sun. ]]> 2021-05-15 19:52:48 UTC https://padlet.com/rebeccarimoldi/p387os7dcgqrfllt/wish/1527438357 Step 1: Watch the video lesson rebeccarimoldi https://padlet.com/rebeccarimoldi/p387os7dcgqrfllt/wish/1527438359 Essential Question:  Why do we wear clothes?

I want you to think about what these materials are made of.  What are their properties?  How do they feel?  What can they do?  You will test the properties of each of the materials and decide which material is soft, stiff, or absorbent.  Let's get started!  You will need a lunch bag, a sheet of foil, a piece of paper towel or napkin, and a paper plate.  You will also need a cup of water.

How can you best design a hat in order to keep your face shaded from the sun using only these supplies listed below?  When finished, use the camera feature below to send me a photo of you in your hat.  Have fun!
