This 6 part experiential activity investigates common 3 dimensional objects including:
Cones
Rectangular Solids (boxes)
Cubes
Cylinders
Spheres
This project has 6 independent activities with worksheets and so it lends itself well to small groups.
Through the course of this project, students will:
1. Measure 3D objects with common measurement tools (rulers, yard/meter sticks, tape measures, measuring wheels, strings, etc).
2. Use the linear measures to calculate and explore the connection
