Today, I have a free glass blowing lapbook about the history of glass blowing. Also, you’ll love more ideas on my pages Glass Blowing, Lapbook Ideas, and Best Homeschool Unit Studies.

Although glass wasn’t discovered during the Renaissance period, it did make a rebirth in that time period.

Around 1500 BC in Mesopotamia and Egypt the first glass vessels were made by shaping hot glass around solid cores of earth and dung.

After the glass cooled the plug was removed and it left a hollow form.

During the Roman era, new formulas were invented and perfected.

Glass was so precious Emperor Nero paid $500.00 for one goblet.

Glass blowing techniques were all but lost during the Middle Ages in Europe.

The History of Glass Blowing

However, around the 13th century, Venice became the center of glassblowing.

Having learned the secret of glass blowing through their trade with the Middle East, Venetian artisans revived the technique.

Because the furnaces represented a fire danger in Venice, whose buildings were mostly wooden, they were moved to the island of Murano.

It wasn’t long before the glass makers were the leading citizens of the island.

The artisans were granted the right to wear swords and enjoy immunity from prosecution by the Venetian state.

In the following centuries exports began, and the island became famous for glass beads and mirrors.

Today, even though the art of glass blowing has been shared all over the world.

Murano is still called the Glass Island.

Free Coral Reef Printable Lapbook and Fun Hands-on Unit Study Ideas

I have a free coral reef printable lapbook. Grab more ideas on my Coral Reef, lapbook ideas, and on my best homeschool unit studies pages.

My coral reef lapbook is a fun one to do anytime of the year.

Besides a coral reef being an ecosystem, you’ll want to learn about the organisms which live there.

Free Coral Reef Printable Lapbook and Fun Hands-on Unit Study Ideas

The Great Barrier Reef is so vast it can be seen from space.

At one time it was thought coral reefs were only in shallow depths, but scientists are discovering that some are as deep as 19000 feet.

However, most coral reefs are found at 150 feet where sunlight penetrates.

What Is Coral

Coral reefs are formed by colonies of tiny coral animals.

It is formed from the hard outer skeletons of tiny animals called polyps.

When the tiny animals die, the old skeletons remain, and new coral animals grow over them.

That is how coral reefs grow.

Too, coral can only grow in warm water because polyps only eat algae.

Moreover, living polyps are what give the coral color. If they die, the reef bleaches. It becomes white or loses it color.

Coral is a type of animal that lives in colonies. Each animal consists of a polyp that is the size of an ant.

Polyps have stinging tentacles which they use to catch small plankton as they drift by.

Coral reefs have a symbiotic relationship with tiny algae called zooanthellae.

The algae live inside the polyp tentacles.

Two Main Types of Coral

There are two main types of coral. One is hard coral with an outer skeleton made of calcium carbonate and soft coral which have bits of calcium carbonate inside their bodies.

Then, add a few of these words to your coral reef unit study and lapbook.

Coral Vocabulary

  • algae – a plant like organism that turns light into energy but does not have leaves or roots
  • coral reef – have been described as underwater gardens and coral polyps have the unique ability to thrive in nutrient poor water
  • ecosystem – a community of plants and animals relying on each other to survive
  • habitat – the place where an organism or group of organisms live
  • polyp– it’s a tiny animal that looks like an upside-down jellyfish and comes in many sizes and shapes
  • phytoplankton – a type of plankton that gets its energy from the sun through photosynthesis
  • zooplankton – tiny ocean animals like some jellyfish

Next add hands-on ideas.
