Things That?

Day 2
Objective: Describe an object in a way that a 2 year old physicist would be able to identify it or draw it.

Day 3
1.Post your description of one if your objects with the title "Thing" and your initials.

2.Choose a fellow students description by posting your initials with the reply button. If somone has already selected a description choose another.  

3.Draw a picture of the object in your note book along with the description.  Use color or indicate color (do your best).  I will count this for a grade.  

On Wednesday we will match the "Thing" with it's picture.

Day 4:Create an organizational strategy based on observations.

HW:Group objects based on characteristics (develop a by nominal taxonomy)


Day 5

Create a taxonomy chart.  Like a family tree each branch is based off of a singular characteristic.  Continue to break down your groups in a similar fashion until all object are essentially the same.  You may want to consider the order of the characteristics/organization.... If it is good it should work for any set of objects in the box not just your 10.0!!

  1. How to Explain a Beach Ball to a Two Year Old
    - sphere (circle shaped)
    - multi colored
    - has a circle at the top of the ball
    - very light
    - uses air to make it float and bounce
    - colors are divided by curved lines
    - you can find it on the beach or near a pool
    - has a cap where you fill in the air

    1. Sorry I did the first assignment only so here is my second part
      "Thing"
      - multi colored (small ball in the middle is black, the outside pieces are multi colored)
      - has multiple flat circles attached by skinny tubes to the inner black ball
      - lost its grip
      - slight bounce
      - the flat circles and tubes connected together create a whole sphere shape for the object
      - it's the size of a billiard ball
      What am I? :)
