What is volume displacement.
What tool is used to measure the volume of a marble?
What is a graduated cylinder.
Explain why your mass is the same wherever you go.
What is because the amount of matter in your body does not change by moving from one place to another.
What is the volume of a box that is 10 cm long, 3 cm wide, and 1 cm high?
What is 30 cm3.
58.75 cm3
96 mL - 37.25 mL = 58.75 mL = 58.75 cm3
Are mass and volume physical properties? Explain.
Yes, because they can be observed/measured without changing the identity of an object.
What tool would you need to find the volume of a small rock? What is this process called?
2. Volume Displacement Method (aka water displacement method)
Name an item that does not have mass.
energy, ideas, dreams, etc.
anything that is NOT matter
You want to figure out the volume of a small toy car. Explain how you would do this using the displacement method.
1. Fill a graduated cylinder about halfway with water.
2. Record the amount of water in the cylinder. This is the initial volume.
3. Put the toy car into the graduated cylinder.
4. Record the volume of water in the cylinder. This is the final volume.
5. Subtract the initial volume from the final volume to find the volume of the toy car.
A pool has a length of 180 m, a width of 20 m, and a height of 10 m. What is the maximum volume of water this pool can hold?
36,000 m3
180m x 20m x 10m = 36,000m3
