Symmetry in Nature - Art/Science/Math Lesson Plan

 

STEAM Lesson with BUGS


Kids and bugs. What's not to love. Students love them or feel squeamish around them, but they do find them fascinating.

Here's an art lesson that incorporates math (symmetry), science (insects), and art history.

This lesson, from Cool Classroom Stuff, also includes examples of finished student work and templates to help get students started on their designs.




This lesson plan is fully scripted and can be taught by anyone and uses simple materials. 



The finished art would make for beautiful bulletin board displays.

You can find this lesson at the TPT Shop: Cool Classroom Stuff.

Centers, Subs, and Early Finishers - Create a Silly Monster - Art Sub Plans

 My last post was about drawing silly monsters. Here's another fun lesson about that.


Creative Monster Lesson Plan for Any Classroom
This lesson was made for a variety of teaching situations. It can be printed out for an art station or used by a teacher/sub as a live lesson.
There are pages of sample body shapes, body parts, and finished monsters. Kids love having these suggestions to help them get inspired. Silly monsters are a kind of no fail art activity too. Who is to say your monster is wrong???

You can find this activity at the TPT Shop: Centers and Early Finishers.
Includes both .pdf and .pptx files.
