Understanding Rectangular Prisms

Mrs. Scientist introduces the concept of a rectangular prism, explaining its properties such as having six faces, twelve edges, and eight vertices. She emphasizes the importance of rectangular prisms in everyday life, particularly in the context of boxes and games like dominoes. The video also touches on the square prism as a variation of the rectangular prism. The session concludes with a special mention to a student named Kane, encouraging him to learn about 3D shapes.
