• Integration involves multiplying (and chopping and adding).

Estimated Time: 15–30 minutes

Students work in groups to write down and evaluate single integrals for finding the volume of a cylinder.

• The ability to interpret contour maps.

• Tabletop Whiteboard with markers
• A handout for each student

This activity naturally follows the Park activity.
