Cube Day #11 -
Part 2, Activity 4
Key
Purposes:
- Students construct a
three-dimensional representation of a
response surface for a two-factor
experiment on a cube.
- Students can draw the
three-dimensional representation of a
response surface on paper.
- Students can determine the slope of
a line in 3D space from a 3D model or
a drawing.
Example: Find the slope of a
line on the side of a cube.

Description:
Cube Day. The
students construct, using acrylic squares
and clear packaging tape. The cubes will
be used to display the design space for
2x2 factorial experiments. A number of
exercises, to familiarize the students
with 3-dimensional graphing, are done.
