  1. Displacement

  2. Water displacement • If you have an irregular shape (doesn’t have straight sides), you can use water displacement to determine the volume

  3. How to determine volume with water displacement • 1. fill graduated cylinder and record starting volume • 2. add object (ie. Coin, paperclip, etc.) • Record ending volume • Subtract ending volume from starting volume • The difference is the volume of the object

  4. See it! • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mk4pd_1K-Ts

  5. Practice it • 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. Do it! • At each station, determine the volume of each object. Complete the chart to collect results
