Lesson Plan(s) for this Project:

TitleDescription
/images/icons/pdf.gif Science 2-3: Experiments Students will use Etoys to draw a leaf and then experiment with its size. The project can include drawing a leaf or it can use one done previously in an earlier Technology Passport lesson.Students experiment with variables of size, location, and proportion. These tile based variables can be combined and recombined to demonstrate how combining even a few variables will dramatically increase the number of possible results.The lesson introduces a vocabulary of words common in science, mathematics, and everyday experience.
