Exploring 3D Solids

We have been busy exploring 3D solids in our classroom.  Students were challenged to look around their house and bring in different kinds of 3D solids.  We had a variety of spheres, cylinders, cubes, cones, and rectangular prisms.  Students had the opportunity to show their object to their classmates, name it and identify the name of the solid it resembles. We then created a 3D Museum, displaying all of our objects.

This student discovered that when he shone the flashlight through the pink ball, it created a pink reflection in the binoculars.  Great observation!
