In this fun activity, students paint paper "swatches" then cut them out into geometric shapes, creating their own version of Paul Klee's famous creation, Castle and Sun.

Students take a close look at truss structures, the geometric shapes that compose them, and the many variations seen in bridge designs in use every day. Through a guided worksheet, students draw assorted 2D and 3D polygon shapes and think through their forms and interior angles (mental “testing”) before and after load conditions are applied. They see how engineers add structural members to polygon shapes to support them under compression and tension, and how triangles provide the strongest elemental shape. A PowerPoint® presentation is provided. This lesson prepares students for two associated activities that continue the series on polygons and trusses.

Goal: To teach Tangrams or “Ancient Chinese Puzzle” to Grade 3 Class.
