First up in this series is a collaboration I did with our 4th grade Social Studies teacher: paper mache globes. For the first class, we covered a small balloon with paper mache and newspaper The next week, we painted it blue. Then to top it off I projected a picture of the globe up on the screen and we painted the continents, deserts, and/or ice caps. The paper mache provided a nice texture for the globe, and 3D projects are always a hit. Here are just a handful of examples.
