Because the third grade classes were taught at separate times we ended up with different projects for each class. Ms Robertson's class started with recycled robots. We looked at pictures of robots and discussed how their function would affect their appearance. After deciding what job they imagined their robot would do each student made a preliminary sketch. 
The next step was to cut out the basic shapes. They had a variety of materials to choose from including corrugated cardboard, cardboard coated with silver, gold and black, plastic, foil, painted paper plates, foil etc... 
With the basic shapes cut out and glued to the background they were ready to add the finishing touches. We assembled a variety of hardware and odd bits and pieces that could be used for hands, feet, wheels, hair or other mechanical details.
