Lab objectives and outcomes

Students will be able to identify different types of prisms and their respective base shapes within the virtual environment.
Students will be able to apply the formula Volume = Base Area x Height to calculate the volume of various prisms by interactively adjusting their dimensions.
Students will be able to analyze how changes in a prism's height or base dimensions directly affect its overall volume, observing the dynamic visual feedback.
