Alissa Zalewski EDR 321 Winter 2014 Volume of Spheres Tentative date: May 20th I. Benchmark/Standard: CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.HSG.GMD.B.

4 Identify the shapes of two-dimensional cross-sections of three-dimensional objects, and identify three-dimensional objects generated by rotations of twodimensional objects. CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.HSG.CO.D.12 Make formal geometric constructions with a variety of tools and methods (compass and straightedge, string, reflective devices, paper folding, dynamic geometric software, etc.). CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.HSG.GMD.A.3 Use volume formulas for cylinders, pyramids, cones, and spheres to solve problems. Behavioral/Objective: The learner will discover the formula for the volume of a sphere with a hands-on activity. The learner will use previous knowledge of both 2D and 3D objects to discover volume. The learner will be able to apply the formula and solve problems. Anticipatory Set: Review surface area and volume of cylinders. Students will find the area of three spheres, the volume of two cylinders, and compare the formulas for the area of a circle and volume of a cylinder. The warm-up will be done individually. Objective/Purpose: Today we will discover the formula for volume! We have a fun hands-on activity involving Play-Doh. By the end of the period, you should be able to derive the formula for the volume of a sphere, understand each component of the formula, and apply the formula to solve problems. Input: a. Task Analysis: i. Warm-up- Students will find the area of three spheres, the volume of two cylinders, and compare the formulas for the area of a circle and volume of a cylinder. ii. Class discussion on warm-up problems. iii. In groups, students will work on a guided worksheet deriving the formula of volume of a sphere. iv. With 20 minutes left of class, teacher will lead a class discussion discussing the results and observations of the experiment.

Learning Styles and/or Accommodations: i. Remediation: The lesson will incorporate the following learning styles: audio, visual, and kinesthetic. ii. Intrapersonal: Students will work on warm-up and exit passes individually. iii. Interpersonal: Students will work on assigned worksheet with other their groups. c. Method and Materials: i. Ways of presenting: Hands-on activities, discussion, demonstration, and independent/group work. ii. Materials needed: Worksheet, warm-up questions, exit passes, Elmo, calculator, centimeter rulers, play-doh, cylindrical containers, VI. Modeling: a. The teacher can model problems from warm up. b. Teacher will model how to set up activity. Check for Understanding: a. Warm-up. b. Volume activity. c. Circulating room while students are working. d. Exit passes. e. Homework. Independent Practice: The students will complete practice problems #12-20 on page 30 in their textbook for homework. Closure: With 5 minutes left of class, students will receive an exit pass. Students will find the volumes of three spheres and turn them in before leave.
