Iceberg Calves
Find out how chunks of ice break away from glaciers - a natural process called calving.
1. What happened to the Titanic? Where are icebergs found? What is an iceberg calf? In small groups, investigate icebergs further by exploring various electronic and traditional resources. Take notes in an organized format. Work together to summarize main ideas in a written report that will be also presented orally.
2. With Crayola® Washable Paints and Paint Brushes on white construction paper, illustrate what you learned about icebergs. Outline icy shadows with gray. You will use your painting as an instructional tool when you present your research summary. Dry flat.
3. Invite younger children or those with special needs to come to your iceberg expo, at which groups present reports and illustrations. Design cool invitations with Crayola Metallic Colored Pencils on white paper. Make ice pops for audience members to thank them for attending your program.
Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project. Observe children closely and intervene as necessary to prevent potential safety problems and ensure appropriate use of arts and crafts materials. Some craft items, particularly beads and buttons, are potential choking hazards for young children. Avoid use of such small parts with children younger than 3 years. Craft items such as scissors, push pins and chenille sticks may have sharp points or edges. Avoid use of materials with sharp points by children younger than 4 years. Read all manufacturers' safety warnings before using arts and craft supplies.
