• Volume of Solids Objectives:Find the volume and surface area of geometric solids.• Lesson DescriptionVolume and Surface Area problems appear three dimensionally with the

“3D Buildings” mode in Google Earth’s “Layers” selected, the students will be able to view and pan around these solids.

Each placemark icon includes the necessary dimensions students need to complete the Geometric Solids Worksheet.

Since teachers differ in their expectations of work for these types of problems, the formulas are not included in the Google Earth file nor the worksheet. The polyhedron included in the file are sphere, prism, and pyramid.

As usual, additional locations can be added to the file. That might make an interesting exercise for students.
