Activity 1Worksheet

When we think about shapes/form we typically think about ( Squares, triangles, circles and etc.).
What we unconsciously ignore is that 3-Dimensional shapes exist in the context of cubes,
pyramids, spheres and etc. Shapes extend beyond the geometric realm, but also include natural
shapes found in nature (leaves, clouds, rocks and etc).
