Shrinking Polymer Trinkets: Scaling Sketches

$0.00

In this single lesson, learners will explore ratio and proportion in a science-centered activity that explores the natural state of polymer strands. They will create designs while considering scale as their designs shrink when heat is applied. Finally, learners will experience unpredictable results due to the nature of the materials.

In addition to art, math, and science standards, this lesson also addresses SEL skills in Social Awareness and Responsible Decision Making.

This lesson is best suited to Upper Elementary (3-5) to High School.
