Learning to identify and describe various 3D shapes: cube, sphere, cylinder, cone, pyramid and rectangular prism.
Sorting shapes on the Smart Board.
A video from youtube from Harry Kindergarten we love about 3D shapes.
We also enjoyed watching this video on youtube. 3D shapes are used to make these interesting people. At the end, all of the shapes are sorted. It gave us the idea to try to build various things using different 3D shapes.
Building using different 3D shapes.
Our 3D shape experiment. When using a ramp, will 3D shapes stay, roll or slide? We made and recorded our predictions.
We thought that the sphere, cylinder and cone would roll because they are round and have some circular surfaces. We also thought that the rectangular prism and cube might slide or stay because they have flat sides.
We noticed that the cylinder, cone and pyramid could be placed on the ramp in multiple ways as they have different sides and points.
