2. How do you measure the volume of a solid object?
LEARNING TARGET: I can recognize & communicate TWO ways to measure volume of a solid.
SEP 25 / Activity A8
Measuring Volume
CHALLENGE Q:
How do you measure the volume of a solid object?
DISCUSSION: vocab:
cubic centimeters (cm3) = milliliter (mL) Liter (L)
Metric System mass volume
qualitative vs quantitative
sugar cube size
~quart
based on 10s and Nature
"stuff"
"space"
words vs numbers

3. TWO WAYS TO MEASURE VOLUME
MEASURING with a ruler (LxWxH)
WATER DISPLACEMENT

4. How could you find volume of: shoe box =
DISCUSSION: (cont’d)
How would you arrange these 7 objects from least to greatest volume? (sketch them) 1 2 3 4 6 7 5
How could you find volume of:
shoe box =
L x W x H
wrench =
displacement

6. make sure metals are DRY! before putting back in cup
DATA:
WS 8.1 a/b
each group at least:
6 ruler measurements (1 decimal)
4 displacement measurements
make sure metals are DRY! before putting back in cup
(if done early read and THINK only)
ANALYSIS:
A-35 Qs 1, 3 and 6

7. ANALYSIS: A-35 Q 1 if object had regular shape = ruler
irregular shape needed displacement (grad cylinder)

8. Q 6
"volume" to a 10 year old is "space taken up"
more and more volume

9. 1. check MISSING assignments (ASAP)
ANSWER CHALLENGE Q:

regular shape =
irregular shape =
ruler 3 dimensions
displacement
