In biblioteca "Villa del Sole" di Seveso ho condotto un laboratorio su Leonardo Da Vinci per bambini dai 6 anni in su. Ho letto loro il libro "A Bottega da Leonardo" di Ilaria Demonti. Un libro molto particolare e creativo e ben fatto. Durante la lettura ho approfondito alcuni argomenti illustrando ai bambini altri libri con foto di alcune realizzazioni in 3D. In questo laboratorio ho preparato per loro qualcosa di inedito e che voglio condividere con tutti voi: la realizzazione del paracadute e della vite aerea. Di seguito vi spiegherò come realizzarle passo-passo. Vite Aerea 1. Stampare e colorare i tre pezzi. Tagliare il pezzo 1, 2 e 3. 2.Posizionare la parte numero 3 sul tavolo e mettere la colla nella piccola linguetta con la scritta "Colla 3". Incollare il pezzo numero 2 sul pezzo numero 3 nel seguente modo e mettere la colla nella piccola linguetta con la scritta "Colla 2". Infine posizionare l'ultimo pezzettino incollando la linguetta numero 2 e formando un cerchio perfetto al centro. 3. Realizzazione della base: prendere 4 tappi di sughero e posizionare al centro un piccolo pezzo di carta arrotolato in modo che abbia la stessa larghezza del cerchio centrale della vite aerea. Per tenere insieme i 4 tappi utilizzare un pezzo di scotch da pacco. 4. Rinforzare la base e il bastoncino di carta con lo scotch come in figura. 5. Infilare la vite aerea dall'alto e chiuderlo con un piccolo cerchietto di carta precedentemente tagliato per bloccarlo sulla parte alta. Paracadute 1. Colorare il paracadute, tagliare tutte le parti e bucare con un perforatore i punti segnati. 2. Piegare sulle linee tratteggiate e creare una piramide incollando la linguetta. 3. Infilare due fili come in figura 4. Annodare i 4 fili insieme e posizionare l'omino al centro incollando i fili all'omino. Il laboratorio è piaciuto molto e ne sono felice. E i vostri paracaduti e vite aeree come sono? Aspetto le vostre foto. Scrivete a [email protected]. Ringrazio ancora moltissimo il comune di Seveso, la biblioteca, l'assessore alla Cultura Alessia Borroni, i bambini e i loro genitori per la possibilità di realizzare questi laboratori, la mia più grande passione. Alla prossima 😊

This catapult kit is created from a design of Leonardo da Vinci, who sketched it based on Medieval catapult designs. Once you have the catapult assembled, try launching different things from it, and see what will go the farthest. Or just take it outside for a little siege action. It can throw small items at least 15 feet! This kit comes with everything you need to build one working catapult- all the wooden pieces, glue, rope, and crystal-clear instructions. The catapult itself is quite sturdy; each piece is pegged together with wooden dowels  giving it more stability then if it was simply glued. The brain child of a high school science teacher, this kit is designed to both educate and entertain. ages 12 and up finished model measures 16 x 10 x 5.5 inches box measures 6 x 3 x 7 inches

Renaissance Unit Study - Week 4 We measured ourselves to determine if we were Leonardo da Vinci's Vitruvian Man. Leonardo da Vinci was a true Renaissance Man. He was a scientist, inventor, artist, engineer and truly one of the greatest thinkers of all time. The 13 minute movie Renaissance Artist Leonardo da Vinci was created for children and does an excellent job of entertaining while packing in information about Leonardo. Leonardo da Vinci's Vitruvian Man is one of his most famous sketches. It is so much more than a work of art. The man's belly button is located at the center of the circle and circle and square show the proportionality between height and arm span. Primary Resources offers a free Vitruvian Man worksheet located under the Length/Distance section, highlighted with a bulleted yellow number 4 on the webpage. The worksheet asks the question: Are you Leonardo's Vitruvian Man? Kids measure several body parts and then answer questions such as were the height and arm span the same? It's quite simple and interesting. For more hands-on learning activities be sure to visit our subject pages. Math History Science
