Let there be light! When your physics learners take this midterm exam, light will be their focus. They will show what they know about electromagnetic waves, interference, refraction, reflection, lenses, prisms, and more! The test is...

Students participate in a series of hand-on, online, and multimedia activities to examine 2 dimensional and 3 dimensional shapes. They describe common geometric solids. They construct rectangular prisms using straws and ribbon.

First graders experiment with prisms to explore sequence of colors of light created.

Learners calculate volume of rectangular prisms and cylinders. They draw and label figures to use the formulas to calculate the volume of rectangular prisms. In addition, they use objects to calculate volume in a hands on activity.

Students compare and contrast the characteristics of prisms and pyramids. In groups, they are given different colored construction paper to make rectanglar prisms. They identify the shapes of the faces and record the number of faces,...

Explore the relationship between 2D and 3D shapes by having your class view representation of shapes and investigate their symmetry. They will create a solid object from diagrams and describe the reflection or rotational symmetry. In the...

Identify the length, width, and height of prisms. Critical thinkers calculate the volume of prisms given small amounts of information. They derive the formula given the length, width and height.

In this surface area worksheet, high schoolers solve 6 short answer problems. Students determine the amount of gift wrap paper needed to cover a rectangular box using surface area formulas.

Students explore geometric solids. In this geometry lesson, students listen to the book The Greedy Triangle by Marilyn Burns, then work in groups to sort geometric solids into various categories. Students define geometric solids...

In this volume and surface area worksheet, students find the volume and surface area of 8 prisms and cylinders. Students find the volume and surface area given a diagram with various measurements labeled.

In this surface area and volume worksheet, high schoolers solve 4 short answer and multiple choice problems.  Students find the volume and surface area of cylinders and prisms.

In this volume worksheet, learners find the volume of 6 prisms/cylinders.  Students use a picture and given measurements of the prisms/cylinders to find the volume.

In this geometric shapes worksheet, students answer 6 questions about geometric figures. For each question, a diagram of a geometric figure is shown and students are asked to choose the correct name for the figure shown. 

Students conduct research. In this lighting instructional activity, students define bottled lights. Students research and answer questions about buying bottled light, create a poster to increase the sales of bottled light, write a sales...

Fifth graders make boxes. In this prisms lesson, 5th graders read the book Counting on Frank and discuss the different things that the boy measures. Students make boxes of various sizes using graph paper and find their volume.

Prisms are the focus of this geometry worksheet. Students count the number of parts of a prism and chart 26 answers. Vocabulary such as: "faces," "edges," and "verticies" are taught. A well-designed math worksheet!

Fifth graders observe the video, Exploring Light and Color. They access a website to create their own light show. They conduct lab experiments to investigate refraction, reflection,and other light-related topics.

In this geometry worksheet, 10th graders determine the lateral area, surface area, and volume of pyramids and prisms.  The one page worksheet contains five problems.  Answers are not included. 

Learners classify prisms according to their attributes. For this classifying prisms lesson, students explore different prisms. Learners generate observations of the attributes and classify the prism correctly.

Students define properties of rectangular prisms. In this geometry instructional activity, students identify the relationship between two and three dimensional objects. They use Cabri technology to graph their figures.

For this volume worksheet, students find the volume of 8 prisms.   Students are given the length, width, and height of each prism.

Students investigate the affect shape has on the ability of a solar panel to collect sunlight.  In this collecting sunlight using a solar panel lesson, students determine which solar panel shape collects the most sunlight.  Students use...

In this finding patterns in pyramids and prisms worksheet, 4th graders use two tables showing faces, edges and vertices for pyramids and prisms to answer six questions about the patterns.
