1. 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

2. How to Calculate the Volume of Regular Objects Metric 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 cm 3

3. Practice Measuring the Volume of Regular Objects

4. How to Calculate the Volume of a Liquid Graduated Cylinders are used to measure the volume of a liquid 1.Make sure Graduated Cylinder is level 2. 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
