 * 4. Students will go to this website for ideas to help them with their pyramid design. Here they can also download other materials and such in which to design their pyramid.
 * 5. Students will watch this brief (2 minute) video that shows how ancient Egyptians built the pyramids. This will give students a general idea on how they could build their own, an appreciation for today's technology, and what technologies they would choose to construct their own pyramid.
 * 6. Another brief ( 3 minute) video showing the math that was involved in constructing the pyramids. Students will use some of these mathematical principles when designing he blueprints for their pyramid.
 * 7. Students will go to this site to calculate and receive estimates on the materials they will use to build heir pyramid.
 * 8. Students will go to this site to discover exactly what types of materials were used when the pyramids were built. They will then use and/or modify these materials what to build their pyramid out of. ||
