Measuring: Measurements of Volume

The video tutorial explains the concept of volume, which is the amount of space an object occupies. It compares the volume of different objects, such as a rock and a basketball, and explains that volume is measured in liters and milliliters for liquids. Tools like graduated cylinders and beakers are used for measuring liquid volume, while a metric ruler is used for solids. The video also covers how to calculate the volume of solids with regular shapes and expresses the volume of small objects in cubic centimeters.

Which object has more volume, a rock or a basketball, and why?

• The rock, because it is denser.

• The rock, because it has more mass.

• The basketball, because it is lighter.

• The basketball, because it takes up more space.

How many milliliters are there in one liter?

• 2000 milliliters

• 1000 milliliters

• 500 milliliters

• 100 milliliters

What is a graduated cylinder primarily used for?

• Measuring solid volume

• Measuring liquid volume

• Heating substances

• Mixing substances

What is the main advantage of using a beaker over a graduated cylinder?

• More accurate measurements

• Easier to read measurements

• More durable

• Can hold more volume

How do you calculate the volume of a solid with a regular shape?

• Divide the height by the width

• Add the length, width, and height

• Multiply the length, width, and height

• Subtract the width from the length
