ABSTRACT

For some students, using the method of cross sections to find the volume of a solid is difficult to understand because of the abstraction involved. This paper deomonstrates a fun way for students to visualize the method of cross sections. Although a fun activity, the paper implicitly conveys the importance of connecting theory and experiment.
