Sphere
A sphere is a three-dimensional shape that is perfectly round, with all points on its surface equidistant from its center. It is a type of geometric solid and is often encountered in everyday objects such as balls, planets, and fruits like oranges and apples.
Key Characteristics of a Sphere:
- Surface Area: The surface area of a sphere can be calculated using the formula
4πr2, whereris the radius of the sphere. - Volume: The volume of a sphere can be calculated using the formula
(4/3)πr3, whereris the radius of the sphere. - Properties: A sphere has the maximum volume for a given surface area compared to any other three-dimensional shape.
Study Guide for Spheres:
When studying spheres, it's important to understand the following concepts:
- Radius and Diameter: Be familiar with the radius and diameter of a sphere, and how they are related to its surface area and volume.
- Surface Area and Volume Formulas: Memorize the formulas for calculating the surface area and volume of a sphere, and practice applying them to different problems.
- Real-World Examples: Identify real-world examples of spheres and calculate their surface area and volume to gain practical understanding.
- Comparative Analysis: Understand how the sphere's properties, such as maximum volume for a given surface area, distinguish it from other geometric shapes.
By mastering these concepts, you will develop a solid understanding of spheres and their mathematical properties.

PHYSICAL SCIENCE
Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions
Investigate the resulting motion of objects when forces of different strengths and directions act upon them (e.g., object being pushed, object being pulled, two objects colliding).
Use observations and data from investigations to determine if a design solution (e.g., designing a ramp to increase the speed of an object in order to move a stationary object) solves the problem of using force to change the speed or direction of an object.
LIFE SCIENCE
Ecosystems: Interactions, Energy, and Dynamics
Distinguish between living and nonliving things and verify what living things need to survive (e.g., animals needing food, water, and air; plants needing nutrients, water, sunlight, and air).
