Summary

Students will calculate the volume and surface area of Jean-Marie Delavalle?s Black Volume and draw a sketch. To scale, they will then create a net and build a sample prism, making comparisons to the real sculpture.

Theory:

Students will identify prisms and their measurable attributes, including formulae for surface area and volume.

Creation:

Students will construct a net and build a prism to scale.

Analysis:

Students will determine the relationships between units and how the volume changes when calculated with different scales.
