The camera flash works based on a simple circuit, but why does it require a capacitor? Scholars work through two levels of simulations related to circuits and capacitors. The pupils first use a simple circuit with a battery, resistor,...

How does a neon light work and does it actually contain the gas neon? An enlightening simulation encourages pupils to play with circuits and neon lights. They control the capacitance, resistance, and color of the bulb, and the simulation...

The 26th part of a 28-part series requires pupils to determine whether the answer to a problem requires surface area or volume. The class works problems about fish tanks that make individuals decide based on the question which...

Discover the difference between what a container can hold and its volume. The 25th part of a 28-part series presents problems that require pupils to determine the amount of liquid a prism can hold. Learners must take into account the...

Determine the cost of projects based on volume or surface area. Pupils work problems to determine the cost of building a brick planter and a stainless steel feeder in the 27th installment of a 28-part series. Participants must take into...

The 20th lesson in a 21-part series connects the wind data and expectations of a turbine to whether such devices should be built in your area. Scholars begin with estimating the wind potential at school by using long-term climate data...

Fifty-four flashcards make up a set to help reinforce math vocabulary. The set offers two types of cards; a word card printed in bold font, and a definition card equipped with an example and labels. Terms include capacity, histogram,...

Young mathematicians may solve for cubic units but do they know what that is? This video does a great job of visually explaining not only how to find cubic volume, but what it means in relatable terms. 

Applying this metric worksheet, mathematicians will provide standard metric units of measurement, identify the largest and best way to measure items using the metric system, and convert units using King Henry.

If you're looking for a way to reinforce geometric volume and capacity with your math class, use a set of worksheets to help them understand the concept. With over 30 pages of hands-on activities and problem-solving worksheets, the...
