What is different about 3D shapes compared to 2D shapes?
- 3D shapes are solid and have depth, which means they take up space.
- 2D shapes are flat and only have height and width, like a drawing on paper.
- 3D shapes can be held and touched, while 2D shapes can only be seen from one side.
Examples:
- A box (3D):
- A box has width, height, and depth. You can hold it in your hands.
- It can be opened to get things inside.
- A square (2D):
- A square is just flat. It has four sides but no depth.
- You can draw it on a piece of paper.
- A ball (3D):
- A ball is round and can roll. It has no corners.
- You can play with it and throw it around.
- A circle (2D):
- A circle is flat and round, but it doesn't have depth.
- You can draw a circle with a pencil on paper.
