Cosmic Constructor: 3D Analysis
Mission: Identify vertices, edges, and faces of holographic 3D shapes. Rotational analysis required for deep space construction.
Year 3: Properties
Year 4: Orientation
Year 5: 3D Shapes
About Cosmic Constructor
In Cosmic Constructor, students act as space engineers. They must analyse rotating holographic models of 3D shapes (cubes, cuboids, pyramids, prisms) to identify their geometric properties.
How to Play
- Observe: Watch the shape rotate in the Holo-Stage.
- Analyse: Count the Faces (flat surfaces), Edges (where faces meet), and Vertices (corners).
- Select: Choose the correct shape name from the options.
Curriculum Links
- Year 3: Recognise 3-D shapes in different orientations and describe them.
- Year 4: Identify lines of symmetry in 2-D shapes presented in different orientations (foundational for 3D).
- Year 5: Identify 3-D shapes, including cubes and other cuboids, from 2-D representations.
