Measuring Liquid Volume

We started class today by asking the question, which referred to the lab on Friday:

Not everyone had the same number of drops fit on their coin. If all of the coins were about the same size, how is this possible? How can we make the measurements the same?

Today students learned about various tools that scientists use to take accurate measurements. Students did a worksheet to help them practice reading various volumes of liquid. Tomorrow we will be doing a wet lab using displacement to help us determine the volume of irregularly shaped objects.
Homework: Complete the worksheet for finding the volume of a regularly shaped solid. Note: you can absolutely use a calculator for this assignment.
