Surface Area of a Sphere

Mathematics

★Exhibit Content: Interactive science popularization experience of the formula for the surface area of a sphere and geometric principles ★Interaction: Mechanical interaction + experimental verification ★Operation: 1. Visitors approach the exhibit and read the operation instructions; 2. Turn the flip-board device to switch the liquid between the spherical container and the four circular containers; 3. Observe the liquid filling to understand the relationship between the surface area of a sphere and the area of circles with the same radius. ★Exhibit Description: The exhibit consists of a flip-board device, support, and display stand. Through a set of flip-board devices, the formula S(sphere) = 4πr^2 is verified. Visitors can flip the boards to switch the liquid between the four circular containers and the spherical surface container. It is a recommended exhibit by PopsciCat Exhibit Store. ★Scientific Principle: The formula for the surface area of a sphere is S(sphere) = 4πr^2, where r is the radius of the sphere. In this exhibit, the diameters of the four small circles on the flip board are equal to the diameter of the sphere, and the thickness of the small circular containers is also equal to that of the spherical container. When the flat board is flipped to pour the liquid from the spherical surface into the four small circular containers, the liquid exactly fills them, visually verifying that the surface area of a sphere is equal to the sum of the areas of four circles with the same radius.
