FUN FRIDAY Optical Illusion

OPTICAL ILLUSION

MATERIALS

Graph paper, ruler, pencil, pen 

 

STEP ONE

Use the ruler to draw two intersecting lines in pen  

Draw the lines in the middle of the graph paper 

 

STEP TWO

Use a pencil; mark the space where the lines intersect 0

STEP THREE

Use a pencil; begin at the 0 and move right, number each line +1 to +11 

These numbers represent values MORE than zero 

 

STEP FOUR

Use a pencil; begin at the 0 and move left, number each line -1 to -11 

These numbers represent values LESS than zero 

 

STEP FIVE

Use a pencil; begin at the 0 and move up, number each line +1 to +11 

These numbers represent values MORE than zero

STEP SIX

Use a pencil; begin at the 0 and move down, number each line -1 to -11 

These numbers represent values LESS than zero

STEP SEVEN

Use the ruler and the pen to connect pairs of numbers: 

Note:   

The first number represents the numbers

on the left to right line or x-axis 

The second number represents the numbers

on the up and down line or y-axis

SET ONE

(+1, +11)  (+2, +10)  (+3, +9)  (+4, +8)  (+5, +7)  (+6, +6)  (+7, +5)  (+8, +4) (+9, +3) 

(+10, +2)  (+11, +1)  

SET TWO

(-1, +11)  (-2, +10)  (-3, +9)  (-4, +8)  (-5, +7)  (-6, +6)  (-7, +5) (-8, +4) (-9, +3)  (-10, +2)  (-11, +1)   

SET THREE 

(+1, -11)  (+2, -10)  (+3, -9)  (+4, -8)  (+5, -7)  (+6, -6)  (+7, -5)  (+8, -4) (+9, -3)  (+10, -2)  (+11, -1)   

 SET FOUR

(-1, -11)  (-2, -10)  (-3, -9)  (-4, -8)  (-5, -7)  (-6, -6)  (-7, -5)  (-8, -4) (-9, -3)  (-10, -2)  (-11, -1)

EXAMPLE

for the first set of 11 pairs

-begin with (+1, +11)

-start at 0, count to the right 1 and then up 11, make a small dot

-next, use the second pair f numbers (+2, +10)

-start at 0, count to the right 2 and then up 10, make a small dot

-repeat for all 11 pairs

-use ruler and the pen to connect all 11 dots

Do the same thing for all four sets

Erase the numbers

 

Fun Friday Shape Art

 SHAPE ART

MATERIALS: 8 ½ by 11 sheet of paper, shapes, black pen, crayons

STEP ONE: Make 4 outline shapes

examples: circle, square, hand,

                        triangle

STEP TWO: Use black pen to trace the shapes

                        overlap the shapes

STEP THREE: Use four different colors

STEP FOUR: Color the picture

Stop coloring when you reach a

                    line

PLANET Overview

Planet Overview

ASSIGNMENTS

1   Complete each activity

2   Make a proportionate size model of each planet

3   Fill out the information for each planet on its shape sheet

4   Cut out  and color the shape sheet

 Overview

The inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars) are small and composed of rocks 

with few or no moons.

The outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn Uranus and Neptune) are huge, gaseous, ringed 

and have many moons

What is the Difference in an Orbit and a Rotation?

MATERIALS: Chair, yourself

STEP ONE: Walk around your chair.

This is an ORBIT

STEP TWO: Stand in place, arms extended, and turn in a circle

This is a rotation

STEP THREE: Walk around your chair doing both at the same time

What's Up?  In our solar system nothing stands still.

In fact, on Earth's equator people are moving at 1000 miles per hour.

Planets rotate while they orbit the sun.

Moons are are circling the planets
