Understand what a double cone is as a composite 3D shape.
Identify the parts of a double cone: two cones, two vertices (apexes), curved surfaces, and a common base.
Learn the concept of symmetry and axis in 3D shapes.
Develop spatial reasoning and 3D visualization through hands-on model construction.
Connect the double cone shape to real-life and scientific applications.
A double cone is formed by joining two identical cones base-to-base.
It has two vertices and a shared circular base in the middle.
The shape is symmetrical about its central axis.
Building the model using a DIY kit makes complex 3D shapes easier to understand.
Double cones are used to explain concepts in mathematics, physics (conic sections), and engineering designs.
