Explain how you calculated the volume of an irregular object. YOU MUST USE DISPLACED in your answer to receive full credit.

You start with a graduated cylinder and put a precise amount of water in it (ex: 60 cm3). Record the number that you go

What are techniques for using a graduated cylinder?

To find the volume of an irregular object:

Record the starting water level by reading on flat surface at eye level reading the bottom of the meniscus Slide being sure object does not splash or stick out Record the ending water level by reading on flat surface at eye level reading the bottom of the meniscus Subtract to find the difference or the amount of water displaced by the object The amount of water displaced is the volume of the object
