📏 Hershey Prototype Test Bench

Critical Thinking & Problem Solving Content Expertise Collaboration Submission Required

Teams build quick paper models of their rectangular prism and square pyramid from their selected nets, then run the same test protocol on both: measure dimensions with rulers, verify calculated volume against the target, and compare surface area as material use. Students record results on a shared data table, note build problems such as misaligned tabs or unstable faces, and flag whether each design meets the brief. Close with a brief whole-class calibration on correct square versus cubic units before teams finalize test notes.
