A Walk In The Rain With A Brain – Activity #6: "3-D Brains"

  • Grade 3
  • A Walk In The Rain With A Brain – Activity #6: "3-D Brains"

Activity #6: “3-D Brains”

This is a creative activity using plasticine to create a 3-D brain.

Materials:

  • Blue or purple plasticine – fist-sized portion per student
  • Yellow plasticine – small amount per student
  • Black plasticine – small amount per student
  • Straight pins
  • File folder labels

Teacher Preparation:

  • N/A

 

Step by Step:

Step One: Remind the students what their brain looks like by displaying pictures or photos of the shape of the brain.

Step Two: Have students take chunks of their fist-sized portion blue/purple plasticine and roll it into a number of long, skinny ‘worms’ of various lengths (no thicker than a ¼”).

Step Three: Students then gather their plasticine ‘worms’ and form into a loose ball, bringing it all together to form a brain shape.

Step Four: Students add yellow plasticine to make two large eyes.

Step Five: Students add a tiny ball of black plasticine to make two pupils inside the yellow eyes.

Step Six: Students write on a label: “My brain likes to …. “ (E.g.: play hockey, do math, sing, etc.)

Step Seven: Students attach the label to the plasticine brain with a pin.

 

End Product:

Purple/blue 3-D brain similar to the brain in the story.

    I just did this with a Grade 3/4 class and they LOVED it! I cut the 3×6 blocks of grey plasticine into 4 sections rather than a fist size. I used googlie eyes on the yellow plasticine rather than black and white plasticine. They each named their brain. So much fun!!
