I like how you integrate technology into this lesson using geometers sketchpad. I know very little about these applications and would love to learn more! Your essential questions are definitely comprehensive and are excellent guiding points for the lesson.
#1-The interactive you found is AWESOME the visuals are great and the option to explore and compute is great. #2-Love that you plan to incorporate Geometer's Sketchpad into your Performance Tasks to help students again visualize and share.
Volume is one of the topics that students do seem to struggle with a lot because of the visual and spatial skills students must employ. You definitely have some great finds that will be effective for your students :]
I love your essential questions. I like that you connect volume to the real world and ask students to compare volumes of different shapes. I love that you use geometer sketchpad. And the Interactive website is amazing! Thank you for sharing that!
