5.  Students fill a graduated cylinder with 50 mL of water. An eraser is dropped into the cylinder. The ending volume is 57 mL.  What is the volume of the object

6.  At each station, determine the volume of each object. Complete the chart to collect results Starting VolumeEnding Volume Station 1: Eraser Station 2: Clips Station 3: Station 4: Station 5:
