After making the models we add the modules height, depth and other measurements into a spread sheet. This is therefore cross curricular learning with brining elements of ICT into the lesson.
When measuring the airplanes using the child’s mathematical skills- the child when then throw the airplane off of a high surface. This will then bring in elements of science as you can talk about gravity, up thrust and many different forces.
This talk of maths and science together in lessons shows how closely lessons of both can be linked together. Using such a easy and simple idea.
Fantastic little exercise for students!
Thanks Bridget I am so happy that you commented on my blog post and you find the exercise for students good!
I’m not that much of a online reader to be honest but your sites really nice, keep it up! I’ll go ahead and bookmark your site to come back later on. Many thanks
Thank you for your comment.
