Celebrate Earth Day with this hands-on and engaging activity! Asking students to construct 3D models of planet Earth will provide them with many learning opportunities. For example, not only will students learn where the continents/countries/oceans are located, they will also internalize the continents/countries/oceans correct size and shape. This resource guides students through the process of creating a 3D model of the Earth out of paper. We decided to add this title to our "Gifted and Talented" series as cutting and gluing the parts of the globe can be challenging. These globes can be hung from the classroom ceiling and are beautiful on display. Have fun :) This Project Package Includes: - Materials List - Step by Step Instructions w/ Photos - Northern Hemisphere 1 - Northern Hemisphere 2 - Southern Hemisphere 1 - Southern Hemisphere 2 - Structural Supports page - Example Photos (2 - pages) Project-Based Learning (PBL) is a student-centered pedagogy in which students are challenged to actively learn about a subject for an extended period of time. It is a form of active learning or inquiry-based learning. Project-Based Learning is in contrast to paper-based, rote memorization, or teacher-led instruction that presents established facts.
