  • We will use wedding bell, pineapple, and Easter egg decorations to find volumes of solids of revolution. A graphing calculator will be used to find a regression equation that can then be put into the disc or washer method. This is a great project to do at the end of the year when the students are tired of lectures and PowerPoint displays!
