Volume: The measurement of the amount of space an object occupies.

1. Regular Objects Units = cm3

2. Liquids Units = mL

3. Irregular Objects Units = mL

Page 2: Volume: The measurement of the amount of space an object occupies. 1. Regular Objects Units = cm 3 2. Liquids Units = mL 3. Irregular Objects Units = mL.

How to Calculate the Volume of Regular ObjectsMetric rulers are used to measure the volumes of regular objects like Cubes and Prisms.

Length x Width x Height 4cm x 12cm x 3cm =

144 cm3

How to Calculate the Volume of a LiquidGraduated Cylinders are used to measure the volume of a liquid

1.Make sure Graduated Cylinder is level2. Bring yourself eye level 3.Find the Meniscus 4.Read the number that aligns with the

bottom of the Meniscus 5.Record the Volume using mL

Meniscus: the curved surface of a liquid

How to Calculate the Volume of an irregular objectGraduated Cylinders are used to measure the volume of irregular objects

1. Record the starting volume2. Place irregular object in graduated

cylinder3. Record ending volume4. Then plug in numbers….
