In this arts integrated unit, students will explore Rocks and Soil. These projects focus on bringing multiple art forms to the Earth Sciences for third graders. Students will focus on comparing and contrasting the 3 types of rocks, as well as their attributes. They will create and perform a riddle in which the class will try to guess which rock the riddle represents. The students will analyze the rock cycle by composing small group dance compositions. Students will take a Gallery Walk viewing photographs of different types of soil in its natural setting and illustrate their own version of soil in its natural setting.

In this lesson, students explore the concepts of fractions, percentages, and decimals by creating dances using locomotor and non-locomotor movements.

In this lesson, students use their physical bodies to solve multiplication and division problems, using Hula Hoops to help group and enact math problems.

In this lesson, students listen to and perform chanted text, then explore how parts of the chant can be linked to geographic features on a map.

In this lesson, students will learn that inference is also present in music. They will examine music from different soundtracks to see how music is used to set the stage for events. They will describe how music gets louder, softer, slower, quicker, smoother, and choppier, and will then discuss what is happening after each occurrence of that particular section of music.

In this lesson, students will use music as an impetus for stating and supporting opinions. They will compose an opinion poster based on a narrative about a train using percussion instruments. This will involve group work which can lead the students to write individual pieces in which they support their opinions using descriptive words.

In this lesson, students calculate the perimeter of various geometric shapes and represent the perimeter with a movement phrase. They will identify the types of angles within each shape. Other students will identify the shape that was demonstrated.

In this lesson, students will generate unique fantasy drawings that utilize perspective and create the illusion of depth on a two-dimensional surface. Deriving inspiration from the American painter and illustrator N.C. Wyeth's The Giant, students will imagine and create a world when a giant has come to visit their town! They will serve as the authors and the artists of their own creative stories while employing artistic strategies and techniques from the High Italian Renaissance.

In this lesson, students learn about and create sequences and patterns as they move and dance.

In this lesson, students will explore how music and language arts naturally overlap to promote literacy as they cultivate their creative and critical thinking.

In this lesson, students interpret a poem called 'The Little Blue Engine' by adding music, movement, visual art, and drama. After performing their creation, they will discuss any mathematical and/or scientific connections that have a natural fit in this learning experience.

In this lesson, students will explore self-portraiture by looking at classical portrait paintings, such as Diego Velazquez's La Infanta Margarita or Raphael's Portrait of Baldassare Castiglione. A close look at these works reveals mathematical relationships and proper proportions that students can incorporate into their own self-portraits.

In this lesson, students will move and generate choreography to understand different states of matter.

In this lesson, students will explore numbers and their relationships through rhythm and learn how every aspect of music can be described mathematically. Includes a probability challenge for students.

Students design and develop a useful assistive device for people challenged by fine motor skill development who cannot grasp and control objects. In the process of designing prototype devices, they learn about the engineering design process and how to use it to solve problems. After an introduction about the effects of disabilities and the importance of hand and finger dexterity, student pairs research, brainstorm, plan, budget, compare, select, prototype, test, evaluate and modify their design ideas to create devices that enable a student to hold and use a small paintbrush or crayon. The design challenge includes clearly identified criteria and constraints, to which teams rate their competing design solutions. Prototype testing includes independent evaluations by three classmates, after which students redesign to make improvements. To conclude, teams make one-slide presentations to the class to recap their design projects. This activity incorporates a 3D modeling and 3D printing component as students generate prototypes of their designs. However, if no 3D printer is available, the project can be modified to use traditional and/or simpler fabrication processes and basic materials.

Children need to understand why the mathematical properties work and how they are applied. In this lesson, we explore modeling and "proving" the associative property. In this lesson, we explore modeling and "proving" the associative property.

Students' responses to this lesson will be out of this world after they've researched astronomy to write poetry and compile a poetry book.
