How Do You Make A Pyramid With Sugar Cubes?
Constructing a pyramid of sugar cubes is a project that can be incorporated into several school subjects: history, science and math. The pyramid can be part of learning about Egypt and its construction can reinforce basic scientific principles about balance and weight. Math skills can be improved while constructing a pyramid, as the shape of the sugar cube is uniform and the assembly of each layer reinforces the concept of squares. The size of the pyramid can be adapted to the student’s needs and availability of material. Arrange 10 rows of 10 sugar cubes per row to create the foundation of the pyramid. If desired, spread frosting between each sugar cube to hold. Assemble nine rows of nine sugar cubes per row on top of the base layer, taking care to center the second layer on top of the foundation. If desired, spread frosting on the bottom of each sugar cube and between cubes to hold in place. Add and center additional layers that contain one less row of sugar cubes than the previous l
