- Understands the concept of elasticity through the creation of a rubber ball.
- Explores various techniques of shaping and molding rubber to create different forms.
- Develops an understanding of the properties and characteristics of rubber.
- Applies knowledge of color theory and design principles to decorate the rubber ball.
- Demonstrates creativity in personalizing the ball with unique patterns or designs.
- Observes the process of mixing materials and how it affects the final product.
- Recognizes the importance of safety precautions when working with materials.
- Discovers the interdisciplinary aspect of combining art and science in the project.
Continued development can be encouraged through:
- Experimenting with different types of rubber to observe variations in elasticity and texture.
- Exploring other forms of art that involve the use of rubber, such as sculpture or printmaking.
- Investigating the science behind the production and manufacturing of rubber.
- Creating a series of rubber balls using different colors, patterns, or textures.
- Collaborating with peers to explore and combine art and science concepts in future projects.
