Transformations and Translations in Geometry
In this transformations and translations in Geometry activity, learners use geometric shapes and grids to translate six transformations in each of two activities.
Curated OER
Leather Mardi Gras Mask
Students examine different masks from Mardi Gras. They discover the culture of the area and create their own mask. They use leather to make the mask three-dimensional.
Curated OER
Create a microbe
Pupils explore viruses and bacteria. They construct three dimensional models of microorganisms recognizing size relationships by comparing the size of viruses with the sizes of bacterial cells.
