Your classes will be wide awake during a piping hot lesson! Introduce the resource with a video of the world-record-breaking cup of coffee. Learners work to determine the volume of the cup of coffee to predict if it will break the record.

Explore the volume of solids with a real-life connection. Learners calculate the volume of a deep-dish slice of pizza to determine its price. They model the slice as a part of a cylinder and create a formula for calculating the cost.

Sometimes being mixed up is a good thing! Young chemists explore the basics of making solutions with a realistic interactive. Pupils observe the differences in volume using quantities of water and ethanol, as well as the effects of...

In this volume worksheet, 6th graders solve 5 different problems related to determining the volume of various objects. They determine the volume of a rectangular prism, a cone, a cube, a pyramid, and a cylinder.

In this liquid volume worksheet, students first practice measuring liquid volume by determining what volume is indicated on each of the graduated cylinders in milliliters for the first nine problems. Then they determine the temperature...

Middle schoolers construct a basic cylinder out of a piece of paper, then answer seven questions about their cylinder. Questions have to do with measurement, volume, radius, etc.

You and your class will like this lesson on using visual models to relate the volume and surface area of solid shapes. Learners construct three-dimensional forms using nets. They calculate the surface area and volume for each and then...

Take a shot using a lesson on volume! Young learners watch a video showing a trashcan filling with paper balls. The task is to calculate the number of paper balls that will fit in the can. Pupils use volume calculations to make a...

We know solids have a density we can measure, but what about liquids? Lesson explores this concept and allows scholars to explore the relationship between volume and density. Graphing and analysis questions round out the activity. 

We use basic units of measurement to break down things and communicate clearly. The first lesson in an 11-part series teaches the proper way to measure various items. It starts simply with measuring the dimensions and areas of geometric...

In this geometry worksheet, students calculate the volume given the radius and height of a cylinder. There are 8 questions with an answer key.

Students investigate the volume of cones. In this geometry lesson, students define the formula to find the volume of cones. They define the concept of having to dissect a three dimensional figure and find the volume.

In this geometry lesson on cylinders, geometers explore how to find the smallest surface area for a given volume.  They use their knowledge to relate it to the real world by making a model of a livestock tank.

Math: The only subject where the solution to a problem is seven million matches. Young scholars first complete an assessment task estimating the number of matches they can make from a tree of given dimensions. They then evaluate provided...

In this volume and surface area worksheet, learners read about volume and area, then solve a set of problems arranged in increasing order of difficulty.

Eighth graders investigate concepts related to the finding of the area of prisms. They use boxes as models of calculating the area while getting ready for the next level. The instructors are given sovereignty over the assessments and the...

Students calculate the surface area and volume of a sphere. In this geometry lesson, students define nets, surface areas and volume of prisms, pyramids, cylinders and cones. They use the computer to create nets and analyze shapes.

Students comrehend that water displacement is a simple way to measure the volume of a solid object. They pour water into a graduated cylinder or measuring cup and its volume is read and recorded. Pupils the volume of an object by...

In this metric system instructional activity, students convert measurements of volume from the English system of measurement to the metric system. They also convert within the metric system and answer questions about volume measurements.

Students understand the meaning of volume. In this displacement of liquid lesson, students experiment with various weights and a balance scale to find the liquid displaced.

In this density worksheet, high schoolers answer 12 questions about the density of substances. They read a diagram of a graduated cylinder and determine the volume, mass of water. They interpret a diagram with three liquids and indicated...

Students arrange containers by their capacity. In this volume lesson, students place containers in order by increasing capacity. Students discuss how the tallest container doesn't necessarily hold the largest amount.

Students investigate ways to find the density of irregular shaped objects. In this physics lesson, students calculate density using its mass and volume. They explain why some objects float or sink in water.

In this gas law instructional activity, students practice applying the gas laws by completing 4 word problems focused on volume, pressure, and temperature.
