MID: Geometry Research Ideas Needed

[nfranco <nfranco@LTPS.ORG>]

Dear LM Netters,

I just finished talking to a 7th grade Math teacher.  She would like to
bring her classes (on Thursday) to the library to do a Geometry research
project.  However, she would like to have as the final product something
other than a paper report .  The teacher came up with the following ideas
based on the interest of the students:

A jump rope song/rap about geometric formulas.
Converting the body of a horse into triangles and labeling the triangles.

She has 10 students in her class and would like to offer 10 different
ideas to her students.  I am drawing a complete blank on this one.
I have been working in this school for about a month and I could use your
help for this one.

I will post a hit with the ideas.

Thanks in advance.
