#5 Line Find

Instructions in English

Congratulations, you found a UC 4-H Community Adventure Challenge! Let's have some fun!

Your challenge is to use keen observation skills to notice geometric designs all around you. Good observation skills are important to becoming an Adventurer!

These adventures are located all around Yolo County (a complete list of locations can be found on the navigation bar on the left).

Below are directions for how to complete this fun "Line Find" activity. You may choose to do all three levels of difficulty, each is a little different. Select which level you would like to try first. 

There is also an activity you can do at home below. 

BEGINNER LEVEL

1. A line does not have any curves or angles, and looks like this: 

Horizontal Line

2. Walk around the building and find as many lines as you can. Look high and low for them. There are a couple of examples below to give you an idea. 

3. Use your finger or a stick to trace them.

INTERMEDIATE LEVEL

1. A line does not have any curves or angles, and looks like this: 

Horizontal Line

2. If a line is flat, like the one above, it is called horizontal. (Like the horizon, which is the same direction). 

3. Walk around the building and find 20 different examples of horizontal lines. 

4. If a line goes up and down, it is called vertical, and looks like this: 

Vertical Line

5. Walk around the building and find 20 different examples of vertical lines. 

ADVANCED LEVEL

1. A line does not have any curves or angles, and looks like this:

Horizontal Line

2. If a line is flat and runs left and right, like the one above, it is called horizontal. (Like the horizon, which is the same direction).

3. If a line goes up and down, it is called vertical, and looks similar to this: 

Vertical Line

4. When lines run next to each other, and never cross, it is called parallel. Here is an example:

5. Walk around the building and find 10 examples of parallel lines. 

6. When lines intersect each other with 90 degree angles (like the corners of a square), it is called perpendicular

Here is an example:

7. Walk around the building and find 10 examples of perpendicular lines. 

8. When lines cross at random angles, it is called intersecting

Here is an example:

9. Walk around the building and find 5 examples of intersecting lines. 

AT HOME ACTIVITY

Want to do another activity that uses lines at home? Try making a sticky tape spider web game using the types of lines you learned about here.
