Find the Volume: Spheres in the Real World

Use sports to practice finding the volume of spheres in this colorful worksheet! Students will be presented with eight different kinds of sports ball, including a volleyball, basketball, golf ball, and more! They will need to use the provided diameter or radius of the ball to find its volume, rounding to the nearest hundredth when necessary. 

This eighth-grade worksheet is a fun, inviting choice for familiarizing students with the formula for the volume of a sphere. Students will practice solving for the volume while making sure they substitute in the value of the radius rather than the diameter.
