THIS DAY IN HISTORY

MATHS
Shape Up Your Maths Skills! 📐📏

Let's explore the world of shapes and put our geometry skills to the test!

Your Mission:

1. Shape Hunt: Go on a scavenger hunt around your house or neighborhood to find examples of different 2D and 3D shapes.

2. Shape Properties: For each shape you find, identify its properties (number of sides, angles, lines of symmetry, etc.).

3. Shape Creations: Use construction paper, straws, or other materials to create your own unique shapes.

4. Shape Puzzles: Challenge yourself with geometric puzzles like tangrams or jigsaw puzzles.

Bonus Challenges:

• Research different types of geometric patterns and tessellations.

• Explore the use of shapes in art and architecture.

• Create a 3D model of a geometric solid.

• Share your shape explorations and creations on social media using #EdExpress!

This activity encourages observation skills, spatial reasoning, and an understanding of geometric concepts. Let's shape up our maths knowledge!

GEOGRAPHY
Climate Crusaders! 🌎🌡️

Let's explore the diverse climates around the world and become climate champions!

Your Mission:

1. Choose two different climate zones (e.g., tropical rainforest, desert, tundra, Mediterranean).

2. Research the characteristics of each climate zone, including temperature, precipitation, and vegetation.

3. Compare and contrast the two climates, highlighting their similarities and differences.

4. Discuss how climate affects the lives of people and animals in each region.

Bonus Challenges:

• Create a climate graph or chart to visually represent the temperature and precipitation patterns of each climate zone.

• Research the impact of climate change on different regions of the world.

• Learn about ways to reduce your carbon footprint and help protect the planet.

• Share your climate explorations and findings on social media using #EdExpress!

This activity encourages research skills, geographical awareness, and an understanding of climate and its impact on our world. Let's become climate crusaders and make a difference!
