Free projects and video tutorials on using Google SketchUp to make 3-D models. For K-12 and also for adults. A teaching guide is also available.

Investigate the concepts of area, volume, 3D shapes, and nets using this interactive Learn Alberta math. The solid shapes focused on this exploration include rectangular and triangular prisms, rectangular and triangular pyramids,...

Sixth graders explore cube nets in an effort to understand what properties are common to all nets that form a cube. Students work hands-on with nets and are then pushed to use their experience to visually determine whether other nets...

Generate different "nets" for paper construction of common three-dimensional shapes: cube, cuboid, pyramid, cone, tetrahedron, cylinder, octahedron, rhombic prism, dodecahedron, pentagonal prism, and pentagonal prism.

This tutorial features templates and instructions to make the following solids: tetrahedron, cube, octahedron, dodecahedron, and icosahedron.

This site has three different ways to view the images: with special glasses (anaglyph); cross-eyed; and Parallel (look "through" the photos).

Students will play learning games to practice identifying and creating 3-dimensional figures.

[Free Registration/Login Required] This is a review of solid figures, nets, and counting faces, nets and vertices in 3 dimensional figures. There is a 5 question Activote session at the end of the flipchart.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] This study guide gives an overview of isometric view, orthographic view, cross-section, and nets.

Templates that are widely used in elementary to middle school Math are found here. There is a wide assortment of everything from hundreds charts to graph paper to 3-D nets. They are available in both Word and Adobe Acrobat formats.

In this tea store, the boxes all have different shapes! What do you know about shapes?

Check out this math project about polyhedra! Students will enjoy the hands-on activity while they learn about tetrahedrons, hexahedrons, octahedrons, dodecahedrons, and icosahedrons. [Requires Adobe Reader.]

In this project, you will make 2-dimensional templates, called nets, that fold up into 3-dimensional (3-D) shapes. By making shapes of different sizes, you will be able to see how 3-D shapes change with size. In your findings you will...

Cool visual site that shows a 3-D image of the various hybrid orbitals that are possible. Requires the CHIME plug-in to view images.

Read how freshwater moving across the surface of the Earth can become polluted and bad for the environment. Create a model that shows how water can become polluted as it flows downhill.

Water pollution occurs when a body of water is adversely affected due to the addition of large amounts of materials to the water. The sources of water pollution are categorized as being a point source or a non-source point of pollution....

Monterey Peninsula College faculty page simply shows a 3-D image of a Pi bonding orbital. Requires the CHIME plug-in

Discusses discoveries that laid the foundation for scientists' understanding of paleomagnetism, continental drift, and magnetic reversals.
