Volumes of Solids with Known Cross Sections - An Exploration in Calculus
One of the topics that is difficult for students to grasp is finding the volume of a solid with a known cross section. One reason is that students have difficulty with this topic is that they have difficulty drawing the solid. In this activity the students get to build eight different "solids.”This activity focuses on finding the volume of solids that are built on a two-dimensional surface when cross section cut perpendicular to a known shape. The activity uses the region bounded by the x-axis,

Calculus Lab 7-1: Volume by Cross Section Cake Lab
There are many ideas for helping students visualize volumes of solids by cross sections, but nothing gets the students’ attention more than food‼ This simple packet includes directions for making the hemisphere cake and a lab sheet for the students. The lab only takes about 20 minutes so there is plenty time to present the lesson with examples and culminate with the hemisphere cake.
Of course, the lab could be done with half of a ball of Styrofoam, but where’s the fun in that????

Calculus - Average Value of a Function - An Exploration
As part of the AP Calculus course description students need to understand what it means to find the average value of a function. This activity incorporates the graphing calculator to develop an understanding for the average value of a function. Students draw graph for four functions to view all the function values between two x values. Since students understand that they find an average for a set of numbers by dividing the sum of the numbers by the total number of numbers, this lesson begins by

Calculus Lab 6-1: Newton’s Law of Cooling Hot Coffee Lab
All students love a field trip even if it is only to McDonald’s to measure the temperature of the coffee. We meet at 7:30 in the morning at McDonald’s, set up in the playroom (no children are playing that early), eat breakfast and use temperature probes to collect data on the cooling coffee. The students have already researched the McDonald’s 1992 hot coffee lawsuit so we are there to find out if anything has changed since that time. We return to school and finish the “field trip” in the comput
