This small group activity is designed to help upper-division undergraduate students learn how to calculate flux in curvilinear coordinates. Students calculate the flux of a simple vector field through a cone. The wrap-up discussion addresses how to find the differential area element on a surface that is not a "coordinate equals constant" surface and also reinforces the concept that only the component of the vector field perpendicular to the surface contributes to the flux.
