Geometry all around us is an excellent add on to your geometry unit.
For many of your students, geometry is purely and solely used and heard of in Math. It is something they learn in school and is often set as homework. Most students do not see the relevance of geometry outside of the classroom. Therefor this project has been designed for students to gain an insight into the world of geometry our everyday lives in our natural and man-made world.
Goal
Working in small groups of 4 or 6, your students will create a collage showing examples of geometry in the world. They will also be writing a summary of their collages, highlighting examples of geometric shapes and principles.
**
Skills your students will cover
Identifying examples of polygons and other geometric shapes in the natural and man-made world
Classifying line segments as parallel or perpendicular
Classifying two-dimensional shapes by their sides and angles
Communicating Math ideas
Using technology (if you are using a computer)
Identifying line and rotational symmetry

Can you really separate salt from water? Is it possible once the salt has been dissolved?
Please note this involves hot water - that’s why its graded between 3 and 5. This is suitable for younger students if supervised. This experiment could also take a few days to see results. Best done over two lessons (not back to back).
Throughout this experiment your students will test two theories. Those who think you can separate salt from water will be on a quest to prove the theory right. Those who think it cannot be separated will also be on a quest to prove their theory right.
What’s included in this resource
Teacher Notes
Material + Checklist and Prediction sheet
Experiment instructions
Conclusion sheet
Assessment of knowledge sheet - Did your students actually understand the experiment they performed
