WHAT IS A DIORAMA?

A diorama is a 3D scene designed to depict a particular topic or concept. These miniature scenes are assembled using various materials layered together, often within a shoebox or similar container, to visually represent different aspects of the chosen subject.

Students can construct a diorama by cutting, coloring, painting, and gluing different components inside the box. This allows them to create models that convey specific scenarios like historical events or animals in their habitats. They can enhance their scenes by incorporating natural elements like grass, sand, or twigs.

While these dioramas don't come with strict assembly guidelines, students should familiarize themselves with the subject first and then creatively use provided materials to design their unique diorama. This hands-on activity encourages learning in a fun and engaging way.

SIMPLY PRINT - Print the pieces on sturdy cardstock and allow students to explore as an extension of their lesson plans.

Our TCI science second grade supplemental lesson guides will assist in organizing your materials so you can feel successful teaching the second grade science standards.

Are you having trouble incorporating the TCI textbook, online slide deck, and student workbook into one nicely flowing lesson? I was struggling with this same dilemma in my classroom. I decided to get to work and add all of the materials together into a lesson guide that includes all of the important parts including page numbers for the textbook and workbook as well as slide names for the slide deck. I print these lesson guides front to back and put them in sheet protectors in a science binder. When I teach a lesson, I remove the sheet protector and have the entire resource in hand to feel confident that I'm asking students to be in the right place. This was a game changer for my classroom as I didn't dread teaching science anymore.
