This worksheet guides students through determining the volume formulas for cylinders and cones. For cylinders, students are asked if the volume formula for prisms can be used for cylinders and to write the cylinder volume formula if so. For cones, students use a paper cone and rice to fill a cylinder multiple times to relate the volumes of cylinders and cones algebraically and write the cone volume formula.

DETERMINE VOLUMEFORMULA OF CYLINDER
1. Write the volume formula of this figure!
2. If the base and upper figure of the prism will be replaced with circle.
What thespaces figure that will be formed? …………………………..
3. Can we use the volume formula of prism to find the volume formula of the spaces figure that
will be formed? (check the answer)
h
w
l
V = (..... x …. ) x ….
V = ...…… Area x ….
Yes No

2. 4. If your answer is “Yes”, write the formula of the spaces figure that will be formed!
If your answer is “No”, how to find volume formula the spaces figure that will be formed
DETERMINE VOLUMEFORMULA OF CONE
Material:
The paper cone
Rice
Things with form like cylinder (ex : glass)
Steps:
1. Use the cone that is completely filled to fill the cylinder with rice
How many times?
V = ……………………

3. 2. How many times you completely fill the cone with rice to fill the cylinder until full? ……
3. Remember the volume of cylinder formula! And could you find the volume of cone? ……
4. Write down relation among the volume formula of cylinder and cone!
V cylinder = … x V cone
= … x …………
= ………………
5. Calculate the volume of your toothpick/another cylinder things and the paper cone too?
