Students learned new vocabulary of geography and maps and refreshed old concepts in drawing the 2 dimensional map of the earth on the 3D Orange Globe Model.
I've asked the students to dissect the orange at home, peeling the peel from fruit flesh and laying the peel onto a flat surface to see how closely their maps came out. This is definitely an experiment, but they can see if the orange is edible and refresh their day's learning as they try this orange dissection. Then they can ingeniously bring their orange peel maps back to class on a presentation material of their choice to class on Wednesday or email me images of the finished product.
This takes the place of Tuesday's Math HW as well.
