      Featuring Alexander Calder's The Cone, 1960

      Alexander Calder invented two new kinds of sculpture: mobiles and stabiles. In The Cone, he combines elements of each—a stabile, or non-moving sculpture, connected to a mobile, or moving sculpture. In earlier moving sculptures he used motors, but in later sculptures he used only natural air currents and balance to create movement. In this lesson, students use their powers of observation and knowledge of mathematical practice and scientific inquiry to discover how the sculpture moves and balances, and then imaginatively express what they have observed through writing poetry.
