Year 8 · Mathematics · Extension Task · $6.99 AUD
A Year 8 volume and capacity extension task built around designing a school rainwater tank. Students calculate the capacity of prism tanks with rectangular, semicircle and triangle cross-sections, convert cubic metres to litres, compare designs against a 2400 L target, design their own tank within set constraints, work out roof collection from rainfall and preview cylinder volume. A teacher answer key is included.
Part of the "Composite Area and Prisms" sub-unit. Aligned to AC9M8M02, AC9M8M01, AC9M8M03 (Australian Curriculum v9).
Students will:
• Calculate the volume of right prisms with composite cross-sections
• Convert cubic metres to litres
• Compare designs and justify a recommendation with calculations
• Design a tank that meets given constraints
A ready-to-teach extension task, supplied as PDF, editable Word (DOCX) and PowerPoint (PPTX).
