Measuring Volume

We have been busy in the science lab!

We explored three different ways to measure volume.

First we used graduated cylinders and displacement to measure the volume of a marble.  See this blog post for photos:  http://missliefer.blogspot.com/2014/02/in-science-lab.html

Second we found the volume liquids in containers of various sizes using the graduated cylinders.

Third we used measurement... multiplying the length, width, and height of real-world items in the shape of rectangular prisms (a kleenex box for example)

We also have been busy exploring density and buoyancy.  
Ask your "scientist" what happened today in our experiment when we put oil, water, and syrup in a container!
