The objectives in the resource allow students to explore the characteristics of simple solid shapes. Youngsters learn to recognize the face shapes, corners, and edges that make up 3-D figures by filling in a chart. Lastly, learners look for solid shapes in the real world and discuss whether they are man-made or natural, in an outside and Internet activity.
