Instruction: In groups of THREE $(3)$ read the information carefully and complete the following task.

Shapes that can be measured in $3$ directions are called three$-$dimensional shapes. These shapes are also called solids. Lengths, widths, and height $($depth or thickness$)$ are three measurements of threedimensional shapes$(3$D$).$ Geometry nets can be used to build models of $3$D shapes. Geometry nets are two$-$dimensional shapes that can be modified to form a $3$D shape or solid.

Title: Exploring Geometric Shapes

Objective: To investigate and compare the properties of different geometric shapes, including circles, and three$-$dimensional figures.

Requirements

Materials:

Paper

Pencil

Ruler

Compass

Protractor

Scissors

Glue

Cardboard or construction paper

Tape measure or ruler

Circles:

Use the compass to draw circles of different sizes on paper.

Measure the radius, diameter, circumference, and area of each circle.

Cut out the circles and compare the properties.

Use cardboard or construction paper to create a three$-$dimensional cylinder and cone by rolling and cutting the paper into the appropriate shapes.

Measure the height, radius, volume, and calculate the surface area of each shape.

Three$-$Dimensional Figures:

Construct a net for each three$-$dimensional figure using the paper and glue it together to create a solid shape. $($Cube$,$ Prism, Pyramid$)$

Determine and record the number of edges, faces, and vertices that correspond to each shape.

Measure the dimensions of each figure $($length height, width$)$ and calculate the volume and surface area.

Create a presentation showcasing ALL findings, results, and diagrams of the project.

Include analysis and comparison of properties of the different geometric shapes studied in the project and compare each shape with real$-$world examples and describe the importance of geometry in everyday life.
