Organic and Inorganic Shapes

4th Grade:
Students will learn about organic and inorganic shapes and create a lave lamp using these types of shapes.

1. Geometric shapes: 

• Are circles, rectangles, squares, triangles and so on - have the clear edges one achieves when using tools to create them. 
• Most geometric shapes are made by humans, though crystals are also considered to be geometric despite the fact that they are made in nature. 

   2. Organic shapes:

• Are shapes with a natural look and a flowing and curving appearance. 
• Organic shapes and forms are typically irregular or asymmetrical.  
• Organic shapes are associated with things from the natural world, like plants and animals.

Identify organic shapes in the lava of a lava lamp:
