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

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] This study guide looks at the definitions and postulates of surface area and volume for different solids, including composite solids and similar solids.

Young scholars explore surface area and volume through this lesson and worksheet activity.

Explains how to calculate the volume and surface area of a cylinder using the standard formulas. Includes example problems.

This task challenges students to demonstrate understanding of area, surface area and volume.

Using the painting, Cakes by artist Wayne Thiebaud, students will learn and practice math concepts of volume and surface area. Then they will create a bold cake painting, either online or with classroom art materials.

What is a cylinder? Find a definition, example images, and formulas for determining the volume and surface area of a cylinder if given the radius of the base and the height.

Use this online calculator to calculate the volume of geometric solids including a capsule, cone, frustum, cube, cylinder, hemisphere, pyramid, rectangular prism, sphere, and spherical cap.

Use this interactive tool to explore cones. Change the height and the radius to see how these affect the cone. There is also the option of making an oblique cone. Properties of a cone are discussed, how to use formulas to calculate the...

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...

Learn how to find the volume and surface area of a cylinder by trying interactive examples. Includes definitions and links to related topics.

This CoolMath resource provides an introduction to some Precalculus formulas.

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.

This all-interactive MSM 6 course is a complete and rigorous Grade 6 Mathematics course where the text is the support material, NOT the main content. The course includes instructional interactives, inline immediate-feedback (formative)...

College professor Dan Bach offers a review of the calculus concepts of integrals and vectors. Examples and animated graphs are provided.

A complete reference guide to cones. It provides definitions, examples, and an interactive activity that enhances further explanation. Includes links to related topics.

Plate Tectonics provides geology with a comprehensive theory that explains how the Earth works.

This site from the Math Forum defines both a circular cylinder and a right circular cylinder. Pictures of each are provided. Formulas are provided.
