Use Glencoe's Math Course 2 randomly generated self-checking quiz to test your knowledge of how to find the volume of a cylinder. Each question has a "Hint" link to help. Choose the correct answer for each problem. At the bottom of the...

This page brings you to a table of contents of three-dimensional figures. Selecting a figure will bring you to a page defining and illustrating the figure with applicable formulas listed.

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.

Twenty-five problems cover the topics of volume of solids and surface area. They are given with each step to the solution cleverly revealed one at a time. You can work each step of the problem then click the "View Solution" button to...

This is an interactive site that enables the viewer to input different measurements in order to learn about surface area and volume for a rectangular prism and a triangular prism.

Twelfth graders test solutions to determine the parts per million and whether a lake is contaminated.

Given a problem involving composite figures made from prisms, pyramids, spheres, cones, and/or cylinders, the student will find the surface area and volume of the composite figure.

Given a problem involving cones or cylinders, the student will find the volume using appropriate units of measure.

Given a problem involving prisms or pyramids, the student will find the volume using appropriate units of measure.

How much water do you use everyday? Find out in this engaging investigation, where you compare your water usage with your classmates and other people around the world. An exploration filled with lots of math and science that students are...

Official homepage of Robert Boyle (1627-1691 CE). The site is very comprehensive in its information about Boyle. The site has links to a bibliography, his works, correspondence, etc.

This teaching site has interactive exercises using different types of measurement. You will measure length, capacity, area, perimeter, time, weight, temperature, and speed.

Everyday Math Resources for 5th grade is an excellent resource for both students and teachers. Twelve math strands are linked to activities and interactive games that support the learning outcomes. Click on links at the top to access...

This simulation is a slow motion version of what you might actually see if you could see particles in a medium vibrating.

From the companion web site for the Contemporary College Physics textbook. An ideal gas law simulation in which the motion of individual particles inside a closed container is simulated. The number of particles, external pressure, and...

Students observe Archimedes' principle in action in this challenge where a toy boat is placed in a container of water and a rock is placed on the floating boat. Students must explain why the water level rises/falls/stays the same based...

This video explains how the early Greek mathematician Archimedes discovered the principle relating density, volume, and displacement of water. [3:01] Includes a brief quiz and a list of additional resources to explore.

Calculate the density of cubes made of different materials to determine what type of material it contains. Using this information explain that the size, mass, and arrangement of the atoms or molecules of a substance determines its density.

Young scholars use the water-displacement method to find the volume of different rods that all have the same mass.

Students discover the concept that density is a characteristic property of water by measuring the volume and mass of water and calculating its density.

Why do hot air balloons float? This resource from the NOVA Web site offers a series of interactive activities that illustrates the physics of hot air balloons.

In this interactive lesson, learn what the "physical properties" of matter are and how can they be measured and observed.

Learn about sound waves, which move vibrations from one place to another through liquids, gases and solids, with this interactive lesson.

Measuring fun is here! In this week's adventure, children will explore volume, capacity, and weight and learn new math vocabulary words as they practice measurement with real and virtual measuring tools. Each section of this weeklong...
