(Chorus)

One half base times height.

Remember it with all your might.

One half base times height.

Remember it with all your might.

They built the pyramids

with one half base times height. 

 

A man in Egypt he was their hero.

Soon he found that he was Pharaoh.

Cruising up and down miles of the Nile

became real famous wrestling crocodiles.
 

(Chorus)
 

He said “Triangles are cool,

let’s build a big tomb,

made out of granite without windows or lids

let’s call them pyramids. “
 

(Chorus)
 

“Get me a math man and get me some rocks.

We need to know how to build this with blocks.

We need to know the area squared by feet.

It’ll be the biggest of the big and can’t be beat. “
 

(Chorus)
 

Soon the pyramid was ready to roll.

Finally finished but the Pharaoh was old.

He said “It took fifty years to build this tomb of a bed

I better get comfy now before I’m dead.”
 

(Chorus)
 

“Put my body in that booth.

I’m ready for the Hall of Truth.

Wrap me tight like a mummy.

I’m going to a land that’s sunny.

I say goodbye and I have one wish.

That soon I meet OSIRIS!”

 

(Chorus)

The Egyptians definitely needed to know the area of a triangle to build the pyramids. When figuring out the Lateral Area of a Pyramid when all the side faces are the same just multiply the perimeter by the “slant length” and  multiply by 1/2. This is because the side faces are always triangles and the triangle formula is 1/2  base x height.

Mastering science vocabulary is crucial for students in grades K-8 to excel in their science education and lays the foundation for understanding complex concepts and communicating effectively about scientific phenomena. To enhance their proficiency in science terminology, students can engage in various activities such as completing science vocabulary crosswords, word searches, and quizzes. Crossword puzzles offer an interactive and engaging way for students to reinforce their understanding of science vocabulary. By filling in the blanks with the correct terms, students actively recall and apply the meanings of scientific terms, promoting retention and comprehension. Word searches provide another enjoyable method for students to familiarize themselves with science vocabulary. Searching for terms horizontally, vertically, and diagonally within a grid encourages visual recognition of words and reinforces spelling. Quizzes serve as valuable assessment tools to gauge students’ grasp of science vocabulary. By regularly engaging in science vocabulary activities such as crosswords, word searches, and quizzes, students can develop a robust scientific vocabulary that will benefit them throughout their academic journey and beyond. These activities not only enhance students’ comprehension of science concepts but also improve their ability to communicate effectively about scientific topics.
