They cut pictures from magazines and glue them on a page. You may also want to use some pattern block mats.Ĭhildren make a book with 4 pieces of paper stapled together. The rules are that the blocks must lay flat and must touch on at least one side. These tangram mats came from a book called Tangramables, by Learning Resources (Item #LER 0318).Ĭhildren love to make their own designs with the pattern blocks. These can be made to accomodate varying skill levels.Ĭhildren match the shapes and sizes of the tangrams to the outlines of the shapes on the tangram mats. I made the geoboard cards by photocopying the Geoboard Dot Paper from Math Their Way, and drawing different designs on them. I included a bowl of plastic treasure coins, so they could put a coin in each box.Ĭhildren make shapes on the geoboard with rubberbands.Ĭhildren duplicate the geometric design on one of the geoboard cards onto their geoboard using rubberbands. Children match the shape of the lid to the correct box. They come in squares, circles, rectanges, hearts, and ovals. These are small paper mache boxes with lids I found in the craft store. More advanced children can trace attribute blocks onto construction paper, cut them out, and glue them onto another piece of paper. Write their dictation on the paper, and ask them to talk about or describe the shapes they used. My kids love bingo games.įor beginners, provide a lot of pre-cut shapes for children to use to make a picture. Trend makes a great shapes and colors bingo game (or you could make your own). Another way to play is to have the children show what they saw using their own set of attribute block shapes or draw what they saw. Uncover it and children guess which shape is missing. Put three shapes on a tray, cover them with a cloth, and take one away. Here are a few ideas I use in my classroom. Eye-catching shadow patterns create a unique experience”.There are lot of ways to teach shapes in Pre-K. The Butterfly Effect demonstrates sustainability as a source of design: techniques and esthetics are fully integrated to create a harmonious attractive design. Thanks to the double use of space less of the landscape need to be set aside for solar panels, creating space for biodiversity and food production instead. The web is modular and can grow in line with technical innovations. Thanks to its honeycomb structure, the lightweight crossing can be filled with materials that generate solar energy. The ‘web over the motorway’ offers a huge surface area on which to generate renewable energy. “Building a treetop-level crossing for insects can help to restore important natural connective routes. Believing that working with the smallest scale -insects- can create the biggest impact, the project is designed by Dutch design studio VenhoevenCS with landscape architecture agency DS Landschapsarchitecten and solar energy firm Studio Solarix. The Butterfly Effect is a proposal of an ultra-light and innovative web over the motorway that generates renewable energy while restoring natural connective routes. A very sustainable way of growing in which up to 90% less water is used.” The fish receive clean water from the plants again and so the circle is complete in a self-regulating system.
In short, Aquaponic farming is growing on water, where the food comes from fish manure and is converted into usable plant food. Our plants grow in a different way than you may be used to – namely on Aquaponic systems. “We produce hyper-locally, using new technologies and an ecological system. Seeking to reinvent, redesign and rethink the way we grow food, Phood Farm uses Aquaponic farming and other innovative techniques, to produce healthy food, sustainably cultivated in the city, while creating an educational workplace for people with a distance to the labor market.
