Documents - we will write a collaborative story using the teacher-created prompts
Spreadsheets - we will reflect on how we could apply the tools and share lesson ideas
Google Earth - we will look at the left sidebar and see how we can use the layers and go to the pyramids
To find the total surface area of a pyramid, use this equation: Surface Area = B + 1/2 * P * s [B = base area P = perimeter of the base s = slant height]
To find the volume of a Pyramid, substitute into this equation: V=1/3Bh [B=base area h=height of pyramid]
Google LitTrips - we will look at Make Way for Ducklings
