**Group Project**
 * Geometric Investigation**

__**Part One: (10 minutes)**__ Using this [|__Geometric Solids Tool__], group members should spend time exploring the properties of the different shapes provided. Use the controls within the tool to experiment with different views of faces, edges, and vertices. Record an example and explanation of a difference between two shapes that the group discovered to be shared in a classroom discussion.

__**Part Two: (10 minutes)**__ Within the same tool, use the control //Select a shape: My Own Net//, to create your own net for a geometric solid. Once the net is complete, print it out. (This will be attached and turned in with the activity sheet at the end of the lesson.)

__**Part Three: (30 minutes)**__ Complete the //Exploring Geometric// //Solids// activity sheet. You may use the [|__Geometric Solids Tool__] to help you fill in the table.

__**Part Four: (10 minutes)**__ Using the construction tools, your group needs to build one geometric shape. On the backside of the //Exploring Geometric Solids// activity sheet, be sure to record how you constructed the shape as well as the number of faces, edges, and vertices the shape contains.

__**Part Five: (40 minutes)**__ It is now time to create your group __WIKI__. Be sure to some up with a creative group name to title the wiki. The wiki should have 3 separate pages. For assistance with creating your wiki you can access video tutorials on [|__YouTube__]. The three pages of your wiki should be titled: The final part of this project is to copy and paste the URL of your wiki to the class drop box.
 * __Introduction__- Include all members names of the group, group name, and class period.
 * __Geometric Properties__- Include the definition for each of the properties of geometric solids. (faces, edges,…) Also, upload a graphic of the net that you creating using the Geometric Solids Tool along with a description of what shape it makes and the number of faces, edges, etc… that it contains.
 * __Summary__- Write a paragraph summarizing what you have learned from this project. Express your group opinion as a whole as to whether you believe that this project was helpful in bettering your understanding of geometric solids.
