Explore the volume of solid figures.

Students will investigate the relationship between surface area and volume and their application to the inner workings of real life organisms.

This interactive exercise focuses on volume equations, measurement, and problem solving skills to compare the volume of 3D figures constructed from similar amounts of construction materials.

Using an engaging approach, this lesson requires students to record the volume of cylinders as a function of the radius. Students will construct and measure the volume of several cylinders and then begin comparing these shapes.

Use this applet to determine the volume of a box by filling it with cubes, rows of cubes, or layers of cubes. Determine the surface area as well by using the box's net.

For this project, you will make 2-dimensional templates, called nets, that fold up into 3-dimensional (3-D) shapes. By making shapes of different sizes, you will be able to see how 3-D shapes change with size. In your findings you will...

Use this interactive tool to explore prisms. Change the height and the shape of the base to see how these affect the prism. There are also several additional options, e.g., making it oblique or transparent. Properties of a prism are...

In this exploration, students will apply their knowledge of finding volume and surface area of cylinders and rectangular prisms. Students will make recommendations to the local movie theater after determining which package is cost...
