Grade 6 makes 3D Pyramids

5/2/2018

0 Comments

 
Mrs. Kristina Dahmer's Grade 6 Social Studies class made 3D Pyramids using a limited number of supplies. The students needed to make their pyramid stable, at least 12" tall, contain three facts about Ancient Egypt written in their own form of hieroglyphics and it had to have an object suspended from the middle of the pyramid that would be something a Pharaoh would need in the afterlife. After the Pyramids were completed, the students measured and calculated the surface area of the Pyramid. This is part of the GEAR UP Design program, that is part of STREAM. The project incorporates a multiple subject area content and pushes students to think "outside the box" to come up with creative solutions to problems. It was a fantastic way to wrap up our unit on Ancient Egypt and have the kids show off their newfound knowledge. Thank you to the English family for your donation of supplies! ​
