Lesson #110 Volumes of Solids of Revolution (Disk Method)
Students examine volumes of solids of revolution. In this volumes of solids of revolution lesson, students use the limit of a Riemann sum to find the volumes of disks or cylinders and a sphere.
Curated OER
Solids of Revolution - Disks
Young mathematicians solve the volume using the disk method in this calculus lesson. They revolve a graph around the x-axis and calculate the volume. They use the TI to see the revolving around the x-axis and create a virtual cross...
Curated OER
Volumes of Solids of Revolution (Disk Method)
Students investigate the concept of computing the volume of solids of revolution using the disk method. The activity requires some access to the Wood Shop to construct needed materials. It includes example problems for the teacher to use.

Volumes of Solids and Revolution
Students find the volume under a curve using the washer method. In this calculus lesson, students investigate solids and calculate the volume of an object rotation using the washer method. They investigate solids that rotate around x and...
Curated OER
Volumes of Solids of Revolution (Shell Method)
Students engage in a lesson plan that is concerned with finding the volume solids of revolution using the Shell Method. They compute the volume when using a variety of different problems. Students examine the solids in relation to...

The Calculus Whiz Who Loved Candy
Students develop an equation for finding the volume of a commonly known piece of candy (M&M, Hershey's Kiss, Tootsie Roll Pop, Life Saver, etc.) by using calculus.
Curated OER
Volumes of Solids of Revolution (Shell Method)
Young scholars find the volume of solids and disks. In this finding the volume of solids and disks instructional activity, students find the volume using the washer, disk, and shell method. Young scholars integrate functions in terms...
