What You Need 3D STRUCTURES Cube Connectors (1 set) Banya). o) ee Straws (20 Nos.) Tetrahedron Connectors (1 set) 4) WDWhat you Make : CUBE What is a CUBE : A Cube is a box shaped solid object that is made out of six identical square faces. Step 0 Step Q €é , 1 Leg ffi “ js se _ | 4 After Assembly Gently press down all the Take two of the Connectors (as Connectors from the Frame, so shown above) and align their slots. that they come out (as shown). Gently press them into each other, thereby joining them together. Step 6 Step 6 Gently insert two straws, into the projected end of the Connector (as shown). You will have to give a gentle pressure to do this. Repeat the Step No 2 with all the Connectors. This way you will get 8 such connectors (as shown above). ®Step@ Following the process of Step 4,repeat the process of joining , using four straws to make a square (as shown in the right picture). Similarly, make one more Square. So you will have two Square Shapes. The formed 2D shape is a square as all the sides are of equal length (since the straws are of same length) and they meet at the intersection point like plus (qe) sign, as shown in the RED dotted Circle. Step e Gently press four straws into the four standing connectors present at the four corners of the First square, Square-1 (as shown in the right picture). Step @ Take the Second square (Square-2). Gently press the standing portions of the connectors of this into the standing straws (as shown in the right picture). This step needs to be done with care. Press fit the standing portions so that the connectors are completely inside the straws. Your CUBE is ready. L eu RRS > ~~ ~ > a SQUARE-1 @What you Make : TETRAHEDRON What is a TETRAHEDRON : It is a four face solid object, with four Triangles. One Triangle forms the base and the other three form the sides. It is like a Pyramid with Triangular Base. 3 Legs and 1 Circular Connector Take out all the Prism connectors from the Pad provided. Make 3 connectors by joining one leg connector to the double leg connector as done before. Also make 1 connector (Top Connector) by joining 3-legs to a circular connectors as shown. ©Step 6 oy o q wg Xe As was done in Cube, make a Triangle by joining 3 straws with the help of 3 connectors (as shown). Gently press the Top Connector over the three standing straws together. Your TETRAHEDRON is ready. Join three straws to the three standing connectors present at the corners of the Triangle. TOP VIEW As you can see that we have one TRIANGULAR base and three TRIANGULAR sides that meet at a common point. ®ACTIVITY : IDENTIFY THE 3D SHAPES Identify the 3D Shapes, which the below objects represent.
