This site is a wonderful exercise for students with a Calculus base. The site gives an interactive drawing of a vase where the measurements of the diameter of the vase are at any point. The student then finds the volume using calculus....

Find the volume of irregular 3D figures made up of unit cubes by dividing the figures into rectangular prisms and finding the volume of each part. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly,...

The purpose of this fourth task in a series of four is to find the volume of an irregular 3D solid by using Archimedes' Principle. Students must calculate the volume of the displaced water in a rectangular prism tank in order to solve...

Explore the world of prisms in this mini-lesson by learning what are prisms, definitions with shapes and examples, the difference between regular, irregular, right, and oblique prisms, the surface area of a prism, and the volume of a...

Two demonstrations of using integrals to find volume are presented. Detailed solutions are provided to help understand the process.

Through this curricular unit, students are introduced to the important concept of density. The focus is on the more easily understood densities of solids, but students may also explore the densities of liquids and gases. Students devise...

A simple lab experiment for students to find the density of two solids and a liquid (does not use water displacement). Note that number 1d should not state "weighs" since mass is being found.
