This activity gets children exploring with rainbows.  More specifically, how a rainbow is created by using a CD and water.  This art activity gets them using paints, focusing on what colors they see, and wondering about how a rainbow is created using just a CD and water. This activity could precede a lesson about the colors within white light.]]> 2017-09-08 23:02:38 UTC https://padlet.com/kmsnyder415/v3feg09f9wsc/wish/186052437 kmsnyder415 https://padlet.com/kmsnyder415/v3feg09f9wsc/wish/186053162 Engineering & Design

Not only do students get to create a robot, but they get to make a robot that will make their art for them! Students design a robot while also observing the art their robot decides to create. Every piece of robot art will be different! ]]> 2017-09-08 23:16:25 UTC https://padlet.com/kmsnyder415/v3feg09f9wsc/wish/186053162 kmsnyder415 https://padlet.com/kmsnyder415/v3feg09f9wsc/wish/186054134 Science Content Topics

This activity gets students exploring with pendulums and gravity (while also getting to splat some paint around). Using paint along with the pendulum better helps students see the swinging motion that occurs and how gravity is also an acting force. This is done by creating a design on the paper below. This activity could precede a lesson about pendulums.]]> 2017-09-08 23:37:36 UTC https://padlet.com/kmsnyder415/v3feg09f9wsc/wish/186054134 kmsnyder415 https://padlet.com/kmsnyder415/v3feg09f9wsc/wish/186054650 Science Content Topics

Before children even do the art portion, they get to create their very own car with Legos!  Once their Lego car is designed, they can attach it to string and create their car-inspired masterpiece.  This is a great way to introduce the concept of pulleys while also incorporating art.]]> 2017-09-08 23:51:06 UTC https://padlet.com/kmsnyder415/v3feg09f9wsc/wish/186054650 kmsnyder415 https://padlet.com/kmsnyder415/v3feg09f9wsc/wish/186054972 Creativity or Innovative Thinking

Students can let their creativity flow with this one!  Each student can design their own coffee filter how ever they would like.  After putting it in water, they can observe the bleeding of colors! This is a great way to introduce students to the various colors within the dye of markers.]]> 2017-09-09 00:00:11 UTC https://padlet.com/kmsnyder415/v3feg09f9wsc/wish/186054972 kmsnyder415 https://padlet.com/kmsnyder415/v3feg09f9wsc/wish/186055826 Science Content Topics

Students can start out drawing whatever they would like. After they are happy with their creation, it will be put to the test with a glass of water! This will introduce students to the phenomenon of refraction!]]> 2017-09-09 00:26:23 UTC https://padlet.com/kmsnyder415/v3feg09f9wsc/wish/186055826 kmsnyder415 https://padlet.com/kmsnyder415/v3feg09f9wsc/wish/186055971 Engineering & Design

What fun this would be in the winter! Students can use marshmallows, toothpicks, and straws to design a structure of their choice. This will get them thinking outside of the box. Plus, the possibilities are endless!]]> 2017-09-09 00:31:07 UTC https://padlet.com/kmsnyder415/v3feg09f9wsc/wish/186055971 kmsnyder415 https://padlet.com/kmsnyder415/v3feg09f9wsc/wish/186057463 21st Century Skills

This is a super simple avatar-making site! Students can use it to create a digital version of themselves while still participating in art and also technology. ]]> 2017-09-09 01:14:21 UTC https://padlet.com/kmsnyder415/v3feg09f9wsc/wish/186057463 kmsnyder415 https://padlet.com/kmsnyder415/v3feg09f9wsc/wish/186057985 21st Century Skills

This allows students to be creative, but it also helps them to become more comfortable with technology while also creating art. This tool is one of my digital art-creating tools that students can use.]]> 2017-09-09 01:29:23 UTC https://padlet.com/kmsnyder415/v3feg09f9wsc/wish/186057985 kmsnyder415 https://padlet.com/kmsnyder415/v3feg09f9wsc/wish/186215726 21st Century Skills

Being able to see DNA without a microscope? Yes please! Students can extract DNA from a strawberry with this activity.  This is a great way to start off a lesson about various traits and how those all lie within our DNA.]]> 2017-09-11 02:12:10 UTC https://padlet.com/kmsnyder415/v3feg09f9wsc/wish/186217498
