SCIENCE & MATH IN THE PARK

Untitled Slide

PICNIC SHELTER CEILING

• This is an example of rotation because the shapes rotate around the center point of the ceiling.
• All of the pieces are the same shape, all that changes is the position the shape is in.

PICNIC TABLE

• The lines in between the boards are parallel.
• We know this because they are straight, don't intersect, and run side by side.

TREE

• The branches on this tree seperate at an acute angle.
• This means that the angle they make is less than 90 degrees or a right angle.

BIKE RACK

• This bike rack is an example of reflection.
• This is because the shapes all stay the same but they flip the other way.

FLOWER

• This is a picture of the flower reproduction structures.
• The structures in this flower are stigma, anthers, and many others.

STICK

• This stick is an obtuse angle.
• This means it is more than 90 degrees or a right angle.

ROOF

• The roof on this building is shaped like a trapezoid.
• Its top and bottom lines are parallel but they aren't equal.
• Its left and right sides are equal but aren't parallel.

GRATE

• This grate has a line of symmetry.
• The line goes straight down the middle and both sides of it are equal.

PLANT SHOWING TROPISM

• This plant shows phototropism.
• Phototropism is a plants response to sunlight.
• Sunlight is the stimulus.

CIRRUS CLOUDS

• This cloud is a thin, and wispy cloud.
• It sits in high-altitude and sometimes it is hard to see.

PULLEY IN A FLAGPOLE

• A pulley is a simple machine.
• It is used in a flagpole to lift the flag up or pull it down.
• A flagpole is used as an everyday tool.

FENCE

• The metal bars on this fence meet at a right angle.
• A right angle is a 90 degree turn.

TRAFFIC CONES

• These two traffic cones are congruent figures.
• They are the same size and shape, this makes them congruent or similar.

LEAF FROM A SHRUB

• This leaf has a thick cuticle.
• We know because it is shiny and almost looks wet.

CROSSING PATHS

• These two paths intersect at a right angle.
• This makes them perpendicular.

MICKEY (DOG)

• Mickey is a dog.
• Dogs are vertebrates with fur.
• A vertebrate is an animal with a backbone.

BIRD

• This is a picture of a bird.
• A bird is a vertebrate with wings.
• A vertebrate is an animal with a backbone.

EARTHWORM

• This is an earthworm.
• An earthworm is an invertebrate with no legs or feet.
• An invertebrate is an animal without a backbone.

GRAND DADDY LONG-LEG

• This is a Grand Daddy Long-Leg spider.
• A spider is an invertebrate with more than four legs.
• An invertebrate is an animal without a backbone.

ACORN SEED

• This is the seed from an acorn nut.
• The acorn fell from a tree and this is the seed that was in the acorn.
• The seed will grow into another tree.

REFLECTION

• We learned that there is a lot more things in nature than meets-the-eye.
• We also learned that many of our math & science terms are even out in our very own Cherry Park.
• We discovered many new things about the world and everything in it.
