Paper Plate Education
"Serving the Universe on a Paper Plate"

Activity: As The World Turns

On a 6-inch circle of paper, draw and color two pictures.

Color a day scene on half of the circle and a night scene on the other half.

Cut a window out of a paper plate (retaining a central tab).

Affix the circle to the back side of the plate with a paper fastener.

Rotate the plate to show the day...

...segue into the night.

Below, four teachers attending a K-4 level "Teaching Space" workshop for Northeast Ohio Education Association (NEOEA) Day create their own day and night paper plates. Images courtesy of Sharon Shanks.
