Josh wanted to see how much water fills different bottles. He did two tests. He filled five bottles all the way to the top with water. Then he used a measuring cup to find out how many milliliters of water were in each bottle. He then filled the same five bottles to the top with water again. This time, instead of measuring volume, he measured the weight of the water. What could explain the difference in the results Josh got when he made the two tests?

• the type of bottle he tested

• the kind of liquid he measured

• the way that he measured the water

• the number of times he made the measurement
