Identifying cylinders in the environment
Group Activity 4
In groups of five:
- Take a rectangular piece of paper. Without moving the ruler, draw two dotted lines using both edges of the ruler.
- Roll the paper to form a round object. Make sure each dotted line falls on itself.
- Apply glue to one of the longer side and stick the paper.
- Name objects in the environment that look like the rolled paper.
- Name parts of the flat paper that formed the:
- height,
- circular edges of the rolled paper.
- Discuss uses of objects that look like the rolled paper in the environment.
Note
- The rolled paper is the shape of a cylinder.
- A cylinder has two circular surfaces and a round or curved surface.
- The two circular surfaces are equal in size.
