Cones and Cylinders Lab

There are six task to complete in this learning activity.  Students  have been employed by Cook's Chapeau & Cloak Shoppe on Diagon Alley to create prototypes for the next school year at Hogwarts. Mr. Ollivander is getting ready to retire and he has asked that you take over the store and business. This is a great way to reach visual learners by letting them use a hands on approach to actually see the difference in volume.
