geometric solids
Continue to discuss the requirements when
here. stacking solid figures.
Which of these groupings can grow
Stack soft taller by adding another solid figure on
geometric solids top? The first, second, and fourth
groupings. The third grouping (cone on top
here. of thick cylinder) has been made as tall as it
can be; the pointed cone does not have a
flat surface on top. It will not allow a solid
figure to be stacked.

The four solid figures created above differ from the figures Ryan used earlier. But some of these figures
create two-dimensional views similar to Ryan’s spacecraft.
Discuss how the top two examples have a side view that resembles Ryan’s spacecraft. Which of these
side-view drawings shows the best design for a fast spacecraft? The third (cone on top of thick cylinder) has
no flat surface on the top, so it will fly through the air with less surface resistance than a rectangle. This is
the same reason that an arrow has a pointed tip instead of a flat tip; a flat tip would make for a slower flight.
