In this unit we will learn about solids of revolution. First, we define what a solid of revolution is. To get a solid of revolution we start out with some segments and a semi-circumference that they will be rotated 360º around its own axis. And so, three surfaces of revolution will form: cylindrical surface, conical surface and spherical surface. Then we will study the properties of these figures. Students should have a pencil and a piece of paper to do calculations and deductions of the formulas used in these activities. After checking the activities, it is a good idea for students to share ideas.
