Previously Published Data 

1.) Students will find the volume for various prisms and cylinders. They will use the formula V = Bh 

2.) After finding the volume of the given shapes, students will find the volume when the base is one half its first size, then twice its first size, and the same for the height. They will arrange their results in a table and include a written description of the changes. 
Previously Published Data 

1.) Using their Mathematics Journals, students will discuss the formula for the volume of a prism and a cylinder. They will explain the variables used. 

2.) Students demonstrate their understandings by answering questions such as: Which will increase the volume of a cylinder more, doubling its height or doubling its radius? Students will justify answers by showing examples.
