Gravity Drip Monsters!
Kindergarten and 1st grade students were fascinated by the unique variations and outcomes of this experimental lesson. As a class we discussed what gravity was and places we can or cannot experience it. We also looked at images and discussed the artistic movement of abstract expressionism and the artist Jackson Pollock.
Students were each given a "blob" of purple paint and
were told to wait until "everyone was served."
Then as a class we anxiously lifted our papers vertically...
Some quickly turned their papers horizontally
...Others gradually turned their papers and achieved curved lines
The next class students turned their creations into monsters!
Students took turns sharing the name of their monster, where they were from and their special powers!
