Easy Three-Dimensional Project Idea

The pyramid diorama is not a project for Ancient Egypt (although it could be). A pyramid diorama is a three-dimensional papercraft that you can use for a school project.

Sometimes a pyramid diorama is called a triarama. But they can have four sides as well as three.

Pyramid dioramas are great for narration, book reports, or unit study projects. After you make the base, you can embellish the triarama however you choose.

Language Arts Ideas

• recreate scenes from your novel
• showcase new vocabulary words

Science Ideas

• outline a process in three or four steps
• give a biography of a famous scientist

History Ideas

• show aspects of daily life in an time of history
• explain three or four causes of a major event

Pyramid Diorama Step One: Make Squares

Pyramid Diorama Step Two: Fold Squares

How to Make a Triarama

The photos outline the steps you take.

1. You start with squares (any size will do) and fold them on the diagonals.
2. Then cut on any diagonal just to the center point.
3. Overlap the two triangles adjacent to the cut and glue them together.
4. Now you have a three -dimensional figure that will stand on its own.
5. Make as many of these triangles as you want. Glue them together and use them as the base for your project.

Pyramid Diorama Step Four: Overlap Triangles & Glue

this is a really good idea also instead of writing a report on paper you can right it inside the pyrimad!!

Liz Goltra on May 10, 2011:

Clever project idea - I love making dioramas, but never thought of making one like this. Voted up. Thanks for posting!

This is wonderful and looks not too difficult at all. Thanks for the inspiration! I could see us using this for our history or science studies next week.
