Students will study the relationship between surface area and volume. Math, science, and technology components are included.

Why can't cells continue to grow larger and larger to become giant cells, like a blob? Why are most cells microscopic in size? Find out answers to these questions through this "hands-on" activity that simulates the changing relationship...

Beehives are made of walls, each of the same size, enclosing small hexagonal cells where honey and pollen are stored and bees are raised. This problem examines some of the mathematical advantages of the hexagonal tiling in a beehive....

This lesson will give a general overview of how organelles help a cell function and will explain the importance of organelles in increasing surface area to volume ratios. It is 2 of 3 in the series titled "Organelles."
