Exploring Surface Area and Volume

Today, your group will work with an interactive website to explore surface area and volume of 3D shapes.

You can achieve maximum learning by taking your time to read the information. Don't just click and click and click! Instead, try out the activities and think about the information that is presented. How does it relate to what we have been learning in science and math?
