Grade Three: How can we build stronger and more stable structures? (Art…

- - - - 3-7 Construct structures, using a variety of materials and designs, and compare the effectiveness of the various materials and designs for their intended purposes
      - I can safely use a variety of tools and methods in building activities
      - I can use many materials and designs to build structures
      - 3-6 Use, safely, a variety of tools, techniques and materials in construction activities
      - Activity:
        
        Students will research and understand why certain designs are more effective in certain structures
        
        Students will choose a structure this wish to design and develop a blue print
        
        Students will use the materials they have tested to create a small scale of their structure
        
        Math connection: To construct their model, students will need to utilize measurement to determine dimensions and retrieve accurate amounts of material
        
        Arts connection: Students are drawing and sketching their blueprint designs, ensuring that it is accurate and symmetrical
        
        Expert: Possible parent volunteer speaker that is an architect or in construction
  - - - I can compare different materials and designs
      - I can investigate different materials and designs for their use in a building task
      - 3-8 Evaluate the suitability of different materials and designs for their use in a building task
      - Activity:
        
        Students will develop hypotheses for materials
        
        Students will test their materials based on their intended purpose
        
        Students will compare the materials by testing them for purposes they are not intended for
        
        Students will develop conclusions about each material and justify hypotheses
        
        Math connection: Students will be testing the materials for strength and durability. Charts will be developed to graph to determine the limitations for each material
        
        Site: Students will be testing their materials in the workshop space so they have access to various materials and tools
- - - - Specific Outcome 3: Demonstrate and understanding of measuring length (cm, m)
      - I can show my understanding of measuring length
      - Activity:
        
        Students will need to measure materials to build a model of their chosen structure
        
        Students will plan the amount of materials they will need to understand how to accurately measure materials to develop their structure
        
        Students will reference their blueprint to determine how much and what kind of materials they will need
        
        Science connection: Students have an understanding of the tools and materials they will need to measure to build their structure
  - - - Art connection: Students will be drawing their blueprints and ensuring that their shapes are drawn accurately to represent their structure
  - - - Science connection: In order to develop the graph, students will be testing their materials and developing hypotheses regarding the strength and durability of the materials. The conclusion of their hypotheses will help the students with graphing the data of their material testing
- - - - Science connection: To complete this activity, students will understand the traits of each material and which materials they will need for their chosen structure. Then they will be able to draw their blueprint using the right shapes and materials
      - Math connection: Understanding of symmetrical shapes and how those shapes will support their structures
  - - - Math connection: Students understand the various shapes they have to include in their blueprint drawing to portray their structure
  - - - Science connection: Students have tested their materials and have individually drafted blueprints for the desired structure they want to build. Students will have knowledge of the materials that will be most suitable for their structure.
      - Math connection: Students will need measurement skills to determine the amount of materials they will need. Students should be able to reference their 2D blueprint and create a 3D model.
      - Language arts connection: Students will write an informative piece about their structure, including complete and descriptive sentences.
  - - - Science connection: Students use art to establish to the audience what the purpose of their structure is.
- - - - Science connection: Students should be able to describe and label the materials they have chosen
      - Math connection: Students will explain in their paragraphs why certain shapes were chosen to build their structure
  - - - Science connection: Students will be able to explain how their experimentation led to their choice of materials for their structure.
      - Math connection: Students will be able to describe the three-dimensional aspects of their structure and the key shapes that are integrated into it.
      - Art connections: Students compare their 2D drawing to their 3D structure
  - - - Science connection: Students will be working together to test materials in a collaborative experiment. Afterwards, students will be separated in pairs to construct the structure
      - Math connection: Students will be measuring materials and developing shapes together for their structure
      - Art connection: A collaborative blueprint will be drawn.
