Shape & Space
Shape Walk Adventure
In this activity, you will be going on a walk to look at objects in nature. Use a blank piece of paper to record your observations.
The world around us is composed of many different shapes. Sometimes these shapes are put together to make more complex designs. Nature also is composed of shapes and designs. Sometimes the designs and patterns serve a purpose, or are an adaptation; at other times they may be aesthetic. Think about the needles on a conifer or pine tree. Why are they long and thin?
Compare this to the shape of a maple leaf, which would have much more surface area, curves and points. What purpose does the broad leaf have for the Maple tree? Grass is made of an elongated leaf with parallel lines running through this. What purpose do the parallel lines serve for the plant?

What to do:
1. As you walk, look for shapes that can be found in the “Shape Attributes Chart” : 2. Record your observations in a blank notebook or white piece of paper. **Extension: Is there a reason for the shape you have found in nature? Research this question. Is the adaptation of the shape helpful to the life of the plant, animal or organism? |
