Students learn through bubbles. In this science lesson plan, students test the effect of four differently shape wands and three geometric figures in a bubble mixture.

Students investigate the effects of four different shaped wands and geometric shapes in a bubble solution. In this bubbleology lesson, the students build water and soap molecules. Students work in cooperative groups and conduct...

In this NASA satellites worksheet, students read about the Magnetosphere Multi-Scale satellite constellation that NASA will launch in 2013. They solve 4 problems including finding the volume of the MMS constellation, finding how long it...

Students analyze convex polyhedra through hands on methods. In this geometrical shapes instructional activity, students construct paper models of convex polyhedra and identify the different properties including the number of sides, faces...

Students sketch the shape of three dimensional pyramids using nets. In this geometry instructional activity, students differentiate a pyramid from other three dimensional shape. They define the attributes of pyramids.

In this math worksheet, students are asked to read the book that focuses upon the creation and explanation of three dimensional shapes.

Students identify different types of polygons. In this geometry instructional activity, students differentiate between convex and regular shapes. they identify the names of two and three-dimensional objects.

Seventh graders explore the characteristics of three-dimensional figures. They compare the nets of figures. Students describe the relationship between the nets draw and the solid. They identify the vertices, edges and faces of the...

Students compare and contrast two dimensional polygons and three dimentional nets by examining the differences in drawings. They create three dimensional shapes and label the faces, edges, and vertices. After creating the shapes, they...

Sixth graders compare and contrast two-dimensional shapes to three-dimensional shapes. After watching a demonstration, they make their own shapes using nets printed on paper. To end the activity, they use the shapes they made and...

A chart in this activity prompts students to list the number of faces, vertices, and edges in each of five shapes. Additionally, students provide the number of faces that meet at each vertex as well as the number of sides of each face....

In this 3D shapes learning exercise, students cut out the 3D shape on the page and fold on the lines to create the correct shape. The learning exercise states which shape should be build with the cut-out.

In this 3-D objects and common solids worksheet, students cut out and count the number of faces on several different types of boxes and make a cuboid from straws or a card. Students fill out 4 different categories involving 5 different...

In this geometry learning exercise, 4th graders find 13 words in a word search puzzle. They find words such as convex, prism, cylindrical, and cone which are placed diagonally, vertically, or horizontally in the puzzle.

In this geometry worksheet, learners locate 12 geometry vocabulary words that are included in a word bank at the bottom of a word search. They find words such as equilateral, isosceles, and scalene which can be found across, down, or...
