Hello, young learners! Welcome back to Primary 4 Basic Science And Technology. In our previous lesson, we learned about Shapes. Today, we’re going to learn about Shapes And Construction.
Objectives
By the end of this lesson, you should be able to: * Identify materials used for the construction of shapes. * Identify the tools used for the construction of shapes.
Shapes And Construction
Shapes are all around us! They are the building blocks of everything we see, from the buildings we live in to the toys we play with. Construction is the process of putting these shapes together to create something new.
What is Shape Construction?
Shape construction is the art of creating different shapes using various materials and tools. It involves understanding the properties of different shapes and how to manipulate materials to achieve the desired form.
Materials For Shape Construction
Some of the materials used for shape construction include: * Paper: Used for making 2D shapes like rectangles, squares, and triangles. * Wood: Suitable for creating 3D shapes and structures. * Metal: Often used in more advanced construction to create durable shapes. * Cardboard: Ideal for crafting and building simple 3D shapes. * Clay/Playdough: Great for molding and creating various shapes in art projects.
Tools For Shape Construction
There are many tools used for shape construction, such as: * Ruler: Essential for measuring and creating precise lines when cutting or drawing shapes. * Scissors: Used for cutting materials like paper, cardboard, and clay into desired shapes. * Pencils and Erasers: Necessary for sketching and marking shapes before construction. * Glue or Adhesive: Used to join and assemble different pieces of materials. * Craft Knife: Appropriate for more detailed and precise cutting when working with materials like wood and cardboard. (Note: This tool should be used under adult supervision for safety.)
Evaluation
Now that you’ve learned about Shapes And Construction, let’s see if you can answer these questions:
- Can you name some materials used for construction?
- What are some tools used for shaping materials? 3. Why is it important to know about shapes and construction?
Conclusion
Today, we learned about Shapes And Construction, including the materials and tools used in this process. Remember, shapes are everywhere, and understanding how to construct them can be a fun and creative way to learn about the world around us.
