Hands-on lab for measuring volume of liquids and solids!

Type your first and last name on the line. Name _ What block do you have Science class? 1st Block 2nd Block 3rd Block 4th Block Do you have class on Mondays Tuesdays or Wednesdays Thursdays? Mondays Tuesdays on campus Wednesdays Thursdays by Zoom Today we are measuring volume of regular and irregular shapes. What is volume? Volume is the amount of space an object takes up. Regular Shaped ObjectsObjects with a length, width and height can be measured to find volume. Use your unifix cubes and make a cube, and two different rectangles.Complete each box by entering a number for length, width, height, and volume for your cube, and two different rectangles. Remember to find the volume, multiply the length x width x height. (L x W x H = V) Shape length width height volume cube 2 2 2 8 rectangle 8 or 1 1 or 8 1 or 8 8 rectangle 2 or 4 4 or 2 1 or 2 or 4 8 Measuring the Volume of a Regular Solid. Determine the volume of the solids. Type the volume in the right column. NUMBERS ONLY. Regular Solid Volume 60 Measuring the Volume of a Liquid. First you have to understand how to read a graduated cylinder. Determine the volume of the liquids. Type the volume in the right column. NUMBERS ONLY. Graduated Cylinder with Liquid Volume of the Liquid 40 18 14 Using displacement of water to measure the volume of irregular shaped objects. Some objects are difficult to measure volume because the objects are irregularly shaped. A ruler will not work to find volume of irregular shaped objects. You will record the water level in the table below for each object before and after submersion. Then you will subtract the differences to find the volume. Object Water Level Before Water Level After Submersion Volume (Difference) wooden spool penny rock bolt Desribe how you find the volume of irregular shaped objects. Think about what you did in the lab with the wooden spool, penny, rock, bolt and marble. Tell in your own words how to find the volume of shapes that can not be measured using length, width, and height. What tool is needed to find the mass of every object we used today? ruler graduated cylinder compass scale or balance
