Hollow Sphere
Product Code : JA-G-3516
The Hollow Sphere (SKU JA-G-3516) is a transparent geometry manipulative for showing the volume and mass of a hollow sphere. A 3 inch inner sphere, shown by a sectioned plate, sits inside a transparent 5 inch outer sphere, so pupils can see the shell between the two surfaces and work out its volume as the difference of two sphere volumes. This hollow sphere model suits secondary maths mensuration lessons. JaincoLab manufactures it.
Specifications
The model has a transparent outer sphere of 5 inch diameter and an inner sphere of 3 inch diameter, with a sectioned plate showing the 3 inch sphere inside the outer body.

Applications of the hollow sphere model
Students use the model to see that a hollow sphere is the space between two concentric spheres, then calculate the shell volume as four-thirds pi times the difference of the cubes of the outer and inner radii, using the 5 inch and 3 inch diameters on the model as real data.
